When the boxes first arrived, the atmosphere in our room was absolutely electric. My students watched with wide eyes as we unpacked the various items (each day that kept asking when we were going to do our \"unboxing\"), pointing out the things they were most excited to earn. To see their wishes become a reality created a buzz of motivation that has lasted long after the unboxing; they immediately started asking, \"How can I earn that?\" giving us the perfect segue into our new leadership lessons.\r\n\r\nWe are using these new resources as the inventory for our class store, which is the heart of our positive behavior system. Students earn \"Travis Bucks\" by demonstrating specific leadership qualities, such as helping a peer, taking initiative, or showing exceptional responsibility. A specific moment that stands out happened just last week during our first \"shopping day.\" I watched a student, who typically struggles with motivation, carefully count out his saved Travis Bucks to purchase an item he had been eyeing for days. The look of pride on his face wasn't just about the prize; it was about the accomplishment of earning it through his own hard work and good choices.\r\n\r\nYour donation has done more than just provide fun items; it has given my students a tangible way to learn about financial literacy, saving, and the value of positive leadership. Moving forward, we are taking this to the next level by having students apply for \"jobs\" within the store to earn extra Travis Bucks, teaching them real-world responsibility. Thank you for giving my students the opportunity to learn that positive actions lead to positive rewards. We are so grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1763600054292,"projectUrl":"project/leaders-love-positive-behavior-incentive/9897012/","projectTitle":"Leaders Love Positive Behavior Incentives!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Travis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1728003"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102196","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":678,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":31,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":77.9,"schoolId":102196,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Valley Life Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Valley Life Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/tulare-county-office-of-education/valley-life-charter-school/102196"}
