Help Us Stock the Westport PBIS Student Store! 🧡💙

Westport Community,

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we want to ensure our K-8 PBIS Student Store is fully stocked and ready to go! We're looking for sponsors and donations to help reward our hard-working Wildcats.

Our students earn "ROAR-wards" for demonstrating positive behavior and strong attendance. They can redeem their rewards for fun items in our school store, helping reinforce positive choices while creating excitement and motivation throughout the school year.

We're always looking for donations such as:
🎁 Fidgets & Small Trinkets ✏️ Fun Pencils, Pens & Erasers 📱 Phone Cases & AirPod Cases 🧸 Stuffed Animals & Squishmallows 🍫 Candy, Snacks & Juice Boxes

📸 Check out the image below for our full Most Wanted Items list!

Both monetary and item donations go directly to our students, and donations are accepted all year long. We can even arrange to pick up donated items, or they can be mailed or delivered directly to the school.

If you're interested in sponsoring our PBIS Student Store or making a donation, please contact:

✉️ Mrs. Amanda Foster: [email protected]
✉️ Dr. Terry Mitchell: [email protected]
📞 417-523-3100
