Welcome To The Lions' Den!

My Project

Out students are PreK-8th grade students in Chicago. The last 3 years have been a challenge, and we are working to enhance our social-emotional learning and reward environment. The space we hope to create will serve as a multi-sensory and incentive space for students who have demonstrated good decision making and have met school and class-wide expectations.

Students will have opportunities to earn reward time in the Lions' Den space and be able to utilize the Xboxes, music, the furniture, card games, sensory toys, board games and iPads as part of our positive behavior incentive program!

The gift cards will be available in the PBIS store for purchase with good behavior bucks. Students will have fun, engage with others and practice team work and positive social interactions.

One can see amazing change in students when they are praised and recognized for their accomplishments!
