My Project

This year, we launched the Bobcat Depot at our school, a unique initiative designed to motivate students and encourage regular school attendance. Students earn Bobcat Bucks by attending school daily and completing their literacy and math lessons. These Bucks can then be spent on a variety of prizes, which has already led to a noticeable improvement in both attendance and enthusiasm for learning.

In addition to boosting engagement, the Bobcat Depot also teaches valuable life skills.

Students practice budgeting, decision-making, and basic math as they calculate their earnings and choose how to spend or save their Bobcat Bucks. This hands-on experience reinforces important lessons about financial responsibility and delayed gratification.

Unfortunately, due to recent budget cuts, we can no longer fund the Bobcat Depot through the school's general budget. We are now turning to the community for support to help keep this successful program alive. We are seeking donations of prizes for the store, such as small toys, slime, and jewelry. These donations will provide students with a variety of options to reward their hard work and continue to motivate them in their studies.

The Bobcat Depot has made a significant impact on our students, and we believe it is a program worth sustaining. Your support will help keep this initiative going, providing students with the incentives they need to stay engaged and succeed in school. We greatly appreciate any contributions and thank you for your generosity in helping us inspire our students.
