My Project

As an educator, one of the most rewarding parts of my job is catching students being good. Whether it's a kind word, hard work, or teamwork, I want to celebrate these positive behaviors and encourage my students to keep up the great work!

To make these moments even more special, I'm seeking donations for Otter Pops and lollipops to serve as small but meaningful rewards for my students when they are caught doing the right thing.

Students earn PBIS points when caught being good and are able to spend their points at our Royal Store twice a month. These treats will motivate them to continue their positive actions while fostering a classroom environment where kindness, effort, and good behavior are recognized and celebrated.

Your support will go a long way in helping me create a positive classroom culture where students feel valued and motivated to give their best every day. Thank you for considering helping me reward our future leaders!
