My Project

I teach in a Title I school. Many of my students come from very diverse households. They want to learn and do well even when the statistics are not in their favor. Our students are awesome. They love coming to school, and work hard to excel at whatever they put their minds to do. Motivating students to excel academically and behaviorally is essential to fostering a positive and productive classroom environment. This slushy machine would help us motivate and reward students for meeting and exceeding school expectations.

We love to reward our students and celebrate with them as much as we can.

We would like to purchase a Professional Ninja Slushie Machine and slushie syrup to help support this effort. The slushie machine will be used during our positive and attendance celebrations. This project will focus on our PBIS (positive behavior) rewards. We will also use this slushy machine for individual classrooms for the entire school. Your contribution, no matter the size, will directly impact the educational journey of these bright young minds. By donating to our initiative, you're investing in more than just our celebrations; you're investing in the joy of learning and the growth of our future leaders.
