Rewarding SAT Summer Challenge!

The Description
With these funds I will be purchasing prizes for students who complete our Khan Academy Summer Challenge! Prizes will include a pizza party, ice cream bar, and items for raffle, including: movie tickets, gift cards, and a grand prize of AirPods. SAT scores are the biggest factor that hold our students back from being accepted to the college of their choice. My students cannot afford expensive test prep or private tutors, so we have started to think "outside the box" for ways to motivate students to practice for the SAT over the summer. This summer, high school students can elect to participate in free Khan Academy practice, which is associated with our school. We will be able to track the number of hours they complete, and students will win prizes or raffle tickets, based on how many hours they practice over the summer. We are hoping to keep students engaged in their studies over the summer, while also improving their SAT college-readiness.
Back Up Plan
If we do not reach our goal I will still purchase the prizes that we have enough money for. I will likely have to reduce the number of prizes that we offer, especially decreasing the amount of raffle prizes. We will still be able to offer the Khan Academy summer rewards, though!

Generous donors - Thank you SO much for supporting our SAT Summer Challenge! Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to provide prizes for students who participated in the summer SAT practice. We took 25 students to see the Astro's play just last night! We were able to offer a Chick-fil-a lunch to students who completed over 10 hours. We held a raffle for students who completed a significant number of hours with gift card prizes and one grand prize of a pair of Airpods! Students completed over 100 hours of SAT practice, and our seniors re-tested on August 24th. The next upcoming PSAT and SAT test will be on October 16th. We can't wait to see how much our students have grown! We are so grateful for your support of our students and their SAT testing goals. Thank you again. - Yes Prep College Initiatives Team
