Frequently Asked Questions

1. How can the Treasure Tower Reward Program be used in our school? The program is designed to be used school-wide with the Treasure Tower located in the main office or media center.  Teachers use whatever system they prefer (points, stamps, play money, etc.) to track their students’ progress. Once an achievement level has been reached, students are rewarded with a “Super Student Award” token rather than a toy or candy from a box or drawer in the classroom.  The reward is threefold: the recognition when awarded the token, the event of redeeming their token and being praised by the office staff, and the toy they receive to enjoy and show to family and friends.
   
   In addition, a play money system can be used by the principal, counselors, teachers, bus drivers and other school staff. When 10 play dollars are earned from various sources, a student can redeem them for a token in the office to go to the Treasure Tower. As a result, students are motivated and recognized not only in the classroom but throughout the entire school for a variety of reasons including, but are not limited to:  academic achievement, good behavior, attendance, lunchroom etiquette, reading programs, and acts of kindness. Since the toy selection is constantly changing, this program will never grow old but will continue to motivate students year after year.

2. What does it cost to have a Treasure Tower® placed in our school?  A local Treasure Tower representative will install the Treasure Tower and the toys in your school absolutely free!  They will also service and stock your machine for free!  Your only cost is just 25 cents per "Super Student Award" token.  Your school is not liable for the Treasure Tower.  Since it will only dispense one toy per token, there is no longer the concern of children taking more than one reward from a box or drawer. Please ask about our parent/community sponsorship program. It has the potential to completely fund the Treasure Tower Reward Program in your school.

3. Is there a minimum amount of tokens our school must use each month?  Yes.  In order to have this program in your school, you must commit to using a minimum of 60 tokens per week.  That's only an average cost of $12.50 per week. 

4. How often will our school be serviced?  The Treasure Tower will hold a total of 900 toys.  With 40 tokens in a roll, each roll costs $10.00 with a minimum purchase requirement of 10 rolls for $100.00.  Tokens can be ordered monthly or during each service visit.  Service visits vary depending on the volume of usage.  Simply call your representative when your toy levels or token supply gets low and they will arrange a service date within 48 hours.

5. How is the Treasure Tower Reward program different from other programs?  Teachers will no longer need to spend so much time, effort, and expense ordering or shopping for rewards for their individual classrooms. Teachers and school personnel can still determine their own requirements for awarding tokens; but now they can count on a fixed reward cost of 25 cents per reward.  Teachers won’t have to police a toy box or drawer and students won’t be using classroom time choosing rewards.  The problem of candy and food rewards is also eliminated as the Treasure Tower only dispenses toys. With concerns about MRSA and infection control, the Treasure Tower is sure to keep toys organized, clean and sanitary and children won’t spread germs while rummaging through a box or drawer!      

6. How long am I obligated to keep the Treasure Tower?  It is agreed that the machine shall remain at the location as long as it is satisfactory to both parties.  Either party may terminate the agreement at any time.      

7. Do we get to choose the toys in our Treasure Tower?  Yes!  You will be provided with a large list of toys to choose from.  We have carefully selected toys, games, jewelry and bouncy balls appealing to children between the ages of 3 and 17.  With 8 different selections, everyone can choose something they like.  We'll continue to exchange items often so as to keep the selection in your Treasure Tower fun and exciting!

8. Do kids prefer the Treasure Tower over a box or drawer of toys?   Yes!  There is something "magical" to children about the combination of getting a token that tells them they're a  "Super Student" and getting to make their selection, insert the token, turn the handle and have their prize fall down the chute.  It's a great motivator and a positive behavior support that produces amazing results!
