We are Culler Cougars and we dedicate ourselves to being courageous, unstoppable, giving it our all, authentic, ready to learn, safe and successful, and most of all, excellence in learning!

We recognize our students with a PAWSitive point system. Teachers reward students with points as they are found demonstrating any of the characteristics of our pledge. Students can collect these points to redeem for prizes at our weekly Cougar Mart.

A monthly "Culler-bration" allows students that meet monthly goals to celebrate their accomplishments. Students are able to share a treat, get certificates, and receive other tangible rewards.
This year, our goal is to celebrate their successes even more! We have been planning extra activities for our students. These include activities such as family movie night, trunk or treat, and a special night for our English Language Learner students.

We need your help to reward our students and celebrate their greatness! Our recognition items include small prizes that help reward students for their positive behavior, larger prizes that promote community pride at the monthly "Culler-bration" and now fun after school activities. We are requesting $3,500 plus cost reimbursement.

Thank you for supporting our students and helping us to build a positive environment to celebrate their successes!

Help us equip our classrooms with flexible seating that transforms every desk into a whiteboard!

Elliott Elementary is a Title 1 school in the heart of Lincoln, NE. The students, families, and staff at Elliott are passionate about education. Elliott's minority student enrollment is 74% and our families speak 23 different languages. A number of our families have moved to the United States within the last 3 years.

Our school has a goal of 100% of students being on track to graduate and we know learning works best when students are active, not passive. Traditional seating can sometimes lead to wiggles and disengagement. Our school improvement goal is to deepen student learning through writing to learn—getting ideas out on paper (or in this case, on the desk!).

We are raising $5,790 plus the cost of reimbursement for Flexible Whiteboard Seating. These unique desks allows students to stand, move, collaborate, and most importantly, write directly on their desk surface with a dry-erase marker! This immediate, tactile connection between thought and creation boosts engagement, critical thinking, and skill mastery.

You aren't just buying a desk; you are funding an interactive learning station that directly supports our mission to help every student write to learn more effectively.

Musicals are an invigorating way to involve students in music in school. Lefler Middle School students are so looking forward to putting on a performance this year, and Newsies, Jr. would be a great opportunity for them to grow in their love for music and theatre.
We in the Lefler vocal music and theatre classes thank you for any donations you may provide so that we may give more students the chance to learn music in a challenging but achievable way. Performing in a theatre show builds confidence, setting students up for success in the future. With $1,200, plus cost reimbursement, we could purchase the license to perform Newsies, Jr., plus costumes and set pieces.
Thank you!
