My Project

The students at my school show me what the world looks like in one setting! It is extremely important that students come to school daily. Last year, we started a friendly competition called Top-Notch Attendance. Each day homeroom classes would be called over the intercom if they had perfect attendance that day. From that selection of classes, students' names would randomly be drawn to receive a special treat for coming to school that day.

The excitement from hearing, "It's time for Top-Notch Attendance", resonated throughout the building.

Students were making sure they were at school, so their teacher's name could be called. It was a wonderful program to involve the entire school. To continue with this program, I am asking for snacks to use as incentives, such as pudding and healthy snacks from the Healthy Snack Box. These prizes will ensure students try their best to be at school every day.
