YOUR PRESENCE IS A PRESENT!

We began our "getting your selfie to class on time" incentive on Dec. 1st! Teachers will be passing out tickets to students that are on time to specific blocks for the day. Students should write their name on the back of the ticket and place their ticket in one of the "presents" around the school. We will draw for student names on the dates below, and the following prizes will be awarded.

Remaining date:
Dec. 17th - smoothies

Don't be surprised if SANTA himself shows up to help with the prizes!
