My Project

Students thrive on positive vibes. We have seen this over and over among our middle school learners. Focusing on the positive aspects of a student's personality and/or academic performance elicits improvement every time.

Takis, Kool-Aid Jammers, fidgets and more are available to every student at our school bi-weekly in our Exploratory Store.

Students earn Explo Cash for doing good in their exploratory (elective) classes. Every other week the exploratory teachers organize a "store" full of prizes ranging from bracelets to vinyl stickers. Our kiddos LOVE Takis, Kool-Aid Jammers & fidgets so we need to re-stock. They also LOVE the positive attention and have done a great job of keeping track of their cash from week to week.

Thank you for supporting public school students and their teachers with your generous donations to DonorsChoose!
