Sometimes it is these little celebrations make the world of difference for keeping the momentum going to get their diplomas. \r\n\r\nMany of our students have struggled with initiative and follow through. With the dazzled up Bulldog Store items, this has become less of an issue. Our students are not only working for these material rewards, they are basking in the celebration that each teacher gives when they hand them their weekly Bulldog Bucks. Teacher recognition is coupled with these small tokens, yet make a HUGE difference in student endurance. \r\n\r\nWe are always on the lookout for age appropriate prizes for the store, and with your generous contribution we have stepped up our game!
