My Project

We are a rural school that thrives on helping our students become productive citizens. We strive to give our students positive encouragement every step of the way. Our students are striving to be responsible, respectful and productive citizens in our school and in the community. I love that they work hard and want to learn. We would love to have items like remote control cars, little doll babies, pop its, jewelry making kits to place in the school wide incentive store. Providing small tangible incentives that our students would be able to choose from and take home will in still in them that hard work, follow expectations and being responsible citizens pays off.

Children love to get surprises and we would love to surprises them with items they can play and work with.

Children earn the reward paws, which is like money, and then go to the incentive store to purchase an item each nine weeks. They earn reward paws from going over and beyond the expectations of the classroom and the school procedures. As a school, we set high expectations and then model and work hard to instill in them the expectations and procedures for school wide areas such as in the cafeteria, the hallway, bathroom and in the classroom to name a few. Helping provide items that are a little more expense shows the children that we care about them as a whole person not just how they learn and grow academically.
