Ideas for Rewards/Fundraisers:

Rewards are good motivators for children at school. Rather than using candy as a reward for a job well done, consider alternatives such as pencils, stickers, certificates. A helpful link may be: www.SmileMakersCanada.com

Throughout the school year, your school may need to raise funds for special projects and events. The Public Health Oral Health Services team suggests alternatives to candies, which can include cheese, magazines, etc.
