Throughout the year, teachers award Pennoyer 'bucks' to students who exhibit school wide expectations:  Be Responsible, Be Respectful, and Be a Problem Solver.  Students regularly visit the 'store' to 'shop' with their earned 'bucks'.  Items in store range in price, which boosts self-improvement efforts (more bucks=better buys). Buck acquiring also supports budgeting concepts with reinforcement of simple math for the little ones. 

Proceeds from our restaurant fundraisers (Buona Beef, Portillo's, etc) support this cause. However, if you are unable to dine on the selected days, prefer not to, or would simply prefer your entire contribution directed to the Pennoyer store, feel free to donate fun school supplies, party favors, small prizes, or send monetary donations directly to Pennoyer (check or cash..the smallest donations are creatively stretched!). 

We thank our nurturing social worker Mrs. Slawson for running this fun & inspirational program, so feel free to direct questions to her: 708-967-2850. rslawson@pennoyerschool.org 

What a great way to stimulate a respectful & empowering 7hr school day atmosphere!
