My Project

At our school, we strive to create a positive and motivating environment where students feel encouraged to do their best every day. To support this, we are seeking donations of Otter Pops, Dum Dums, and dodgeballs to use as school-wide incentives. These simple yet exciting rewards help reinforce positive behavior, academic achievements, and participation in school activities. Whether it's a refreshing Otter Pop on a hot day, a sweet treat for a job well done, or an energetic game of dodgeball as a reward, these incentives keep our students engaged and motivated.

With your support, we can continue fostering a culture of encouragement and celebration, where students are recognized for their hard work and positive contributions to our school community.

Your donation will go directly toward creating meaningful, fun, and interactive rewards that make a lasting impact on student morale. Thank you for helping us bring smiles, energy, and motivation to our students!
