With these funds, our school will motivate students through a school-wide positive incentive plan.  Every week our students are able to earn two tiger bucks.  Students who are ranked positive for the week by their teachers receive a tiger buck, as well as students who have perfect attendance.  To get ranked positive and earn a tiger buck, students have to display exemplary behaviors throughout the school week.  Once students earn their tiger bucks they are then able to use them to buy items at our school store.  We try to stock our school store with a wide variety of items; school supplies (pens, pencils, notebooks, backpacks, etc.), school gear (hats and uniform shirts), and much more (books and small toys to name a few).  We usually purchase these items every month from Oriental Trading Company.  To keep the store well stocked and kids excited, we need to spend around $400 dollars per month.  In addition to some of the smaller items we hope to purchase some educational tech items for our big savers.  Last year two of our top students were able to save up all year to purchase Kindle Fires http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KC6I06S/ref=ods_fs_far.  With your help we are hoping to reward more of our most motivated students with these big ticket items.  Last year, our school store helped us to significantly motivate students to succeed.  The improved attendance and better climate helped our students to focus on and improve their academics.  Our school had the highest ELA scores out of the 15 schools in our network and had one of the lowest suspension rates.  Please help us to continue to motivate the students of Olney Elementary through our school store!
