 Renaissance

Prizes and Incentives:  Our Renaissance and the Eye on the Prize programs encourage positive behaviors and academic success.  Incentives are given to reinforce student success in class as well as in the hallways and cafeteria.  Teachers also welcome incentives for reaching goals and winning competitions among teams. These incentive programs help us create and maintain a positive and effective school climate for all.  Sustaining a supply of prizes and incentives can be difficult.  Donations of gift certificates, movie tickets, books, and cool middle school stuff would great.  Please contact Mrs. Vaughn if you have access to appropriate prizes or incentives and are willing to make a donation to our programs.
