MES Weekly Scoop

This week we had our first Principal for the day. This is one reward we do as part of our Positive Behavior Intervention System (PBIS). Students are given tickets to reward positive behavior that reflects being responsible, respectful, and ready. Each month we draw tickets out of different reward chance. Principal for the day has always been a popular reward, but students have a chance for many other rewards such as; lunch with Mr. Wheeler, Pumpkin painting, Bruno visit to the dog park, football with Mr. Wright, Bingo and a snack, crafts, and many others. Tickets can also be used in the classroom to purchased preferred activities. Principal for the day was Alexis Seagren from Mrs. Woodcock's kindergarten class. Pictured to the right is Alexis visiting Mrs. Douglas' 5th grade class
