My Project

I am the Elementary School Counselor and I am requesting these items to be offered in the Dolphin Store, which is a token economy for our Pre-K through 5th grade students. The students visit the store monthly to spend the Dolphin Dollars/points that they earn for good behavior, making positive choices, and kindness.

Our students work hard to earn their Dolphin Dollars and they look forward to their monthly store visit.

The items that I have requested for this project are frequently asked for by our students—they love fidget toys, squishy toys, and small notebooks and journals. These items are beneficial in decreasing stress and anxiety, and increasing focus and mindfulness. I am pleased when I am able to stock the store with items the students love and that are also helpful to their well-being.
