On Tuesday, March 12th, K-3rd grade students reached their 3rd quarter PBIS goal by following Raider PRIDE expectations! Students earn tickets in their classroom by following expectations; once their classroom jar is full, those tickets go into a school wide jar in the lunchroom. When the lunchroom jar is full, all students get to participate in an activity. This quarter, the activity was Rick Eugene’s Absolute Science Program. Students had the opportunity to see items disappear in clear liquids with refraction oil, watch the power of a Van de Graaff generator, and take part in a foam experiment. The students really enjoyed being able to take part in these experiments!!!
