Additional Details
The goal of this project is to create a positive, supportive learning environment by expanding our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) store and providing healthy snacks and essential classroom items that encourage student success. By rewarding students for demonstrating positive behaviors such as responsibility, respect, kindness, and perseverance, we reinforce the habits that lead to academic and social growth. Healthy snacks help meet students' basic needs, improve focus, and ensure they are ready to learn, while the PBIS store provides meaningful incentives that motivate students to make positive choices.
Students will actively participate in our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program by earning fintastics for demonstrating positive behaviors such as respect, responsibility, kindness, cooperation, and perseverance. These rewards can be redeemed at the classroom PBIS store for healthy snacks, school supplies, and other age-appropriate incentives.
This project will provide both immediate and long-term benefits for students and the classroom community. Expanding the PBIS store with snacks and other incentives will encourage positive behavior, improve student motivation, and foster a respectful, inclusive learning environment. Healthy snacks will help students stay focused, energized, and ready to learn, particularly those who may not have consistent access to food throughout the school day. By recognizing and rewarding positive choices, students will build confidence, strengthen social-emotional skills, and develop a greater sense of responsibility and belonging. Additionally, the project will reduce classroom disruptions, increase student engagement, and support academic achievement by creating a positive school culture where students are encouraged and celebrated for making good decisions.
Grant funds will be used to purchase healthy, individually packaged snacks, PBIS store incentives, and essential classroom items that support student success and reinforce positive behavior. Snacks such as granola bars, crackers, pretzels, fruit snacks, and applesauce cups will be available for students who need an energy boost during the school day. PBIS store items may include stickers, small toys, fidget items, water bottles, and other age-appropriate rewards that motivate students to demonstrate positive behaviors.
