Goal

To continue to reward students for their positive behaviors in ways that will keep them excited and motivated to make good choices that lead to good consequences in school. Students at GGM earned over 2000 positive referrals each of the last two years. Community and teacher donations have helped supply rewards in the past, and continue to do so today.  

 

What will be done with my students

Students who receive positive referrals each week receive a ticket for an opportunity to spin the wheel for a prize in the cafeteria at lunch every Friday. There is one category that I use for bigger or more meaningful prizes, such as a basketball or 2 tickets to a high school football game. This category is "Pick your prize" and allows a student to select from the entire "store". Since this is the 3rd year of giving these rewards, I'd like to add some of the ideas students have shared to this category of prizes, to keep them interested and motivated. We are a Title 1 school so things such as movie tickets can be a real luxury for many of our students.  

 

Benefits to my students

Our GGM Falcons SOAR- we strive to be Successful, Organized, in Attendance and Respectful. These are the core values we recognize students for every day!
Students will be motivated to SOAR and have good behaviors at school when there are a variety of random prizes for them to receive as positive consequences.

Teachers also benefit when students strive to be successful behaviorally in addition to academically.  

 

Budget Narrative

$7.50 is an average price for sports balls so I used that amount to calculate the budget for sports balls. The movie ticket prices are for Regal Tickets purchased from Costo. We already have a vendor that sells Falcon t- shirts to our students for $7.00 so I would put in a large order just for PBIS if given the money! Any community help is greatly appreciated! I added snacks to this grant because we are not supposed to use teacher lead money to purchase food. Yet, students LOVE it when I can provide snacks as a prize.
