We're halfway to our goal!🚀

Thank you to everyone who has helped us reach 50% of our goal to launch the new BLAST Bucks Store! We're halfway to giving our students even more ways to celebrate their hard work and positive choices.

Help us reach the finish line and stock the store! Donate here: https://www.donorschoose.org/sl/4kV7RJKyBN

🚀 Help us launch our new BLAST Bucks Store! Our elementary PBIS program is expanding, and we're excited to introduce a new store where students can spend the BLAST Bucks they earn by demonstrating our school wide expectations:
Be responsible. Be a leader. Be attentive. Be safe. Be tolerant.

A DonorsChoose project has been created to help stock the store and give students meaningful ways to celebrate their hard work and positive choices.
🎉 For the next five days, donations will be matched up to $50. Use promo code LIFTOFF at checkout.

Happy National Just Because Day! Do something kind today – just because. Compliment a classmate, thank a teacher, hold the door open or lend a helping hand. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s day.✨
