We would so, so SO LOVE for a group to help own the Thomas A Edison Eagle Incentive store! This year things are changing for the better with an (almost) entirely new staff and the school being under the ACE (accelerated campus excellence) program but they still lack many, many resources to really reward students. The staff is really encouraging students to do the right thing and they have seen incentives really push students towards making better choices. They really want to create a new culture where the good can be celebrated and seen rather than fighting, poor grades, etc.
Each student is given "eagle bucks" when they do something to be awarded and once a month or so they open up their 'Eagle Store" and allow students to purchase incentives.
The store is full currently with school supplies and has a couple of big ticket items in it since all the more sought after awards are gone.
We would love for the store to be replenished and are seeking the following items:
Hot cheetos
Takis
Gift certificates to Taco Bell, McDonalds ( in the $5-$10 increments)
Electronics (iPod, iPad, etc) (this would be worth MANY Eagle bucks!)
Movie vouchers to a theatre close to 75212
Bath and Body works lotion, body spray
Shoes (KD's brand, Converse, Jordan or Nike...)
Purses or gift certificates to Wal-mart where students could purchase these.
CANDY, any sorts of CANDY
Lip gloss
Head phones
sketch pads/art supplies/cool pencils/colored sharpies
This service project is availabl to groups looking to serve now and ANYtime in the future? It will likely be a consistent request and we would LOVE to encourage students to do well in school as that can change SOOO much for a student (and for our entire community in West Dallas!)
