At the end of the day the kids can turn these tokens in for reward items - think kind of like a treasure box that many schools use. These can be new or used items - if someone is cleaning out their items and they are still in good shape, we will take them! Think items like erasers, pencils, girls hair items, bouncy balls, matchbox cars, paddleball games, non-electronic hand-help games - Oriental Trading type items. We have 30-35 kids attend BBC each day, so we go through reward items very quickly! Items can be delivered to Agape Development or a pick-up location can be set.
