  • Rewarding Positive Behavior with Fun School Store Prizes

    Funded Feb 12, 2025

    Thank you so much for your donation! The students were beyond excited when the boxes arrived, and their enthusiasm grew even more when they learned the items were for our PBIS school store. Knowing that they could use their well-earned PBIS points to purchase these rewards made them feel proud of their achievements. The variety of prizes has given them even more motivation to make positive choices, and it's been wonderful to see them eagerly setting goals for what they want to earn. Your donation has truly helped reinforce the values of responsibility, perseverance, and good behavior in our school.

    The best part about this project is that it benefits all of our students. Every child has the opportunity to participate, ensuring that everyone feels included and encouraged to do their best. The supplies you provided have made a huge difference in keeping our PBIS store well-stocked and exciting for the students. Seeing their joy as they work toward their rewards has been incredibly rewarding for both them and our staff.

  • Let's Make Class Books

    Funded Nov 14, 2024

    Thank you for providing the book-making materials! The students are off to a great start on their project. We are creating our own adaptation of What If Everybody Did That?—a book about making the right choices.

    The students are drawing inspiration from real-life examples they've observed in their daily lives. They have typed their stories, drawn and colored their illustrations, and soon, we will bind the books. Each student will take home their own book, and we will also create a class copy to share with the school.

    This project has been an incredible way for students to express their creativity and reflect on the importance of making good choices. Your generosity has made this meaningful learning experience possible—thank you!”

    Now, they are excited to take their creativity even further by designing custom bags for their parents in celebration of Mother's Day. Our final project will be extra special—students will interview their kindergarten buddies and create personalized pencil pouches featuring all their favorite things.

    This project has truly fostered their love for art and creativity while also teaching them the joy of making something meaningful for others. Your generosity has made all of this possible, and we can't thank you enough for supporting our students and their creative journey!”

Students will also benefit from working in a chosen area during independent time.Flexible seating will easily allow my students to work in a variety of settings.Providing them with cushions, benches and mats will allow students to work outdoors, even when wet. Allowing students to choose their working environment is the first step to getting them engaged in the lesson. Our goal is that students will love what they learn and take ownership in their education.
