Description

Hello!

For the past 13 years, I have sponsored a classroom economy for students in which many corporations helped by donating items to entice students to perform well. Since the beginning of the Classroom Economy program, we have seen a great improvement in students’ behavior, and performance thanks to the generosity of companies throughout the surrounding communities. The program has been a huge success in helping students' grades, citizenship, and enforcing positive behavior.

To continue with the success of this program, I am looking for donors that can help provide incentives to help students perform better in our school for the 2021-2022 school year. Each quarter I offer these incentives to students as a reward for their hard work. I incorporate a classroom economy for my students, in which they earn points based on positive behavior, being helpful to others, and obtaining good grades. Students earn points that can be used to make a "purchase" in the classroom store or by purchasing a "raffle ticket" for big-ticket items. I am looking for organizations that would be willing to donate items to support education and a classroom economy. Any donation and quantity would be appreciated.
I currently teach 130 students ranging from ages 11-to 13 in each class. I hope that you might be able to help by making some sort of contribution to this program. I have attached a copy of my request on school letterhead as well as our tax information. Please let me know if you would be willing to help and/or if you need any more information on my part. Donations can be sent to the address below ATTN: Dan Brown.

Thank you for your help in making this a wonderful school year and for all of your support in the past best wishes for a safe and healthy year!
