It is because of donors like you that I am able to reward my students for not just success in the classroom but even more importantly growth. At the beginning of the year students come to my classroom at all different levels. Meeting grade level standards is not always obtainable at the beginning of the year and if that is the only thing I focused on I would set some of my students up for an immediate shut down. Being able to reward my kids for focusing on growth creates a positive atmosphere, individual obtainable goals, and allows for direct goal setting conversations between students, teacher, and parents.
