Because of your generosity, our students that struggle with attendance found motivation to make school a priority.

I don't believe this would be possible without you!\r\n\r\nOur attendance program consists of weekly check in and reward earning possibilities. Each week, students that are in the program check in with me, their school counselor. If they have not missed a day that week, they add a charm to their bracelet. Once the bracelet is full with 5 charms, they get to pick a prize from the prize cabinet. The majority of your donations went to the purchasing of the prize cabinet. I have found that these prizes not only motivate students but give them something for their hard work. \r\n\r\nAs the year progresses, I will add more students to the program and your impact will become even greater!
