The Issue

Picture this: we're at school, brimming with the anticipation of receiving a reward for all the hard work and effort we've put in. But instead of the excitement of something cool and fun, we're handed a flimsy, purple slinky that barely stretches past our pointer finger. Is that supposed to be a token of appreciation? Many of us students feel disconnected from these so-called 'rewards' because they don't reflect our interests or what we find enjoyable. We want something different—something we actually want to receive.

That's where NeeDohs come in. They're bright, fun to squish, and not just a great stress reliever, but they also feel like a prize worth working towards. Imagine looking forward to a class or school-wide activity where the reward isn't something you'll toss in your backpack and forget, but instead, something everyone will admire and want. A NeeDoh is colorful and satisfying and by giving them out as rewards, schools can actually connect with what students want.

A reward system with popular items like NeeDohs can foster a positive environment in schools. They are safe, quiet, and won't be disruptive in class. They're also affordable for schools to distribute, ensuring everybody gets one without straining the budget.

By shifting towards items students actually want, schools can harness the power of motivation, boosting engagement and morale. With students eagerly working towards something they genuinely desire, we are more likely to see an increase in participation and achievement.

Let's make a change in our school reward system—ask for NeeDohs and other appealing prizes. Give us something worth striving for, and create an environment where students are truly encouraged and appreciated.
