The Eagle’s Nest

My Project

I’ve taken the initiative to design and launch a school store as a creative way to promote and reward positive student behavior. The store is an integral part of our school’s PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) framework, offering students the opportunity to exchange earned points or tokens for fun and educational items. This initiative has not only motivated students to make better choices but also helped build a more positive school culture. Due to its growing success and increased student participation, I am now seeking to replenish the store’s supplies to ensure it remains fully stocked with engaging and meaningful incentives that continue to inspire our students to thrive behaviorally and academically.
