The best $20 you'll ever spend.....Guaranteed!

Dear Readers,

Please meet Willie the White Tiger......



Cute, right? :)

Let me explain how You and Willie can help Woodlawn Leadership Academy students and other children in the community:

I have partnered with AVON extraordinaire, my mom, to do a fundraiser for the Positive Behavior Incentives and Supports program at the high school that I work at, Woodlawn Leadership Academy.

The Positive Behavior Incentives and Supports program:
  • Is a collaborative, assessment-based approach to developing effective interventions for problem behaviors
  • Emphasizes the use of proactive, educative and reinforcement-based strategies to achieve meaningful  and durable behavior and lifestyle
  • Aims to build effective environments in which positive behavior is more effective than problem behavior
You can purchase Willie the White Tiger for $20 and the profits made will go directly to the PBIS program. However, that's not all!  When you purchase Willie, you have the option to keep him for yourself OR you can donate him.  For the tigers that are donated, my students will be partnering with the American Humanics group at LSUS to develop a service project to donate the tigers to a worthy local organization.

So, your purchase of the tiger will help in four ways:

  1. The money raised will help to fund the PBIS program at Woodlawn
  2. Woodlawn students will have the opportunity for service learning through the community service project created to distribute the tigers.
  3. Through the service learning project, Woodlawn students will be exposed to a college campus, college students and college professors.
  4. An organization (more specifically, children in that organization) in the community will benefit from receiving the tigers. 
Amazing, right?  For $20 you can help in multiple ways!  It doesn't get much better than that!

If you'd like to purchase a tiger (or 12 :) ) you can leave a comment here, e-mail me at diannap3@aol.com or call me at 318.560.0871

Thank you for your support!!!

Sincerely,
Dianna

P.S. I'll provide you all with updates and pictures on how the money raised is benefiting students through the PBIS program as well as the progress of the service project!!  Thanks again!!
