About us
Mission
To motivate and support elementary students toward academic achievement by encouraging them for their consistent academic growth and effort.
Who
The Abbit Society is geared toward elementary Schools. Designed to motivate, encourage and recognize all students for their efforts in the classroom.
How
ABBIT has a wide variety of low-cost items that schools can choose from to help motivate and recognize their students. These items are made with the thought in mind to showcase a student’s ABBIT membership each time they reach an academic achievement such as the honor roll or academic growth. ABBIT also encourages local businesses to get involved by rewarding ABBIT membership.
The Start
The ABBIT Society (A’s and B’s Because I Try) is an elementary school honor roll program founded in 1986 by an educator who believed that students need motivation and encouragement to help them excel in the classroom.
Progress
Since its start, ABBIT has been highly effective in motivating elementary-aged students to not only do their work but to want to earn good grades by recognizing and rewarding them for their efforts. ABBIT has been estimated to have motivated and recognized over 1,000,00 students. Schools that have used the ABBIT program have reported an increase in the A and B Honor Roll.
Direction
In 2019, another educator with a vision for this program to reach new achievements, took ABBIT under her wings to keep it going, expand its direction and motivate a new generation of students. Under this new direction, ABBIT is moving from a National Honor Roll Program to an Academic Achievement Program. This move is just one of many to ensure that ABBIT can be a program for all students.
