★Star Tickets★
We will use a reward system with “Star Tickets.” Students can earn star tickets throughout the day by showing kindness, respect, responsibility, good choices, or working hard. When students receive a star ticket, they write their name on it, and put it in a bin. On Fridays, I randomly pull two tickets and the winners can choose a prize from our prize box!
