As a school administrator, I enjoy those days when I get to recognize students for doing the right things. Last year, I started the $100 Club at our school to reward students for being model students. At the end of each semester, students who have no more than 1 absence, zero tardies and zero discipline referrals get their name put in a drawing for $100. I do this for both the elementary school and the Jr/Sr high school.
Today was the drawing day. We had an assembly in each building and recognized every student who met the criteria. It was so cool. A lot of the students who were in the drawing are not the ones who get recognized often. It is an amazing feeling when their name is drawn and I get to hand them a crisp $100 bill.
Two students went home today with a smile on their face for sure!! Can't wait for the drawing at the end of 2nd semester.
