Some Raleigh County high school students are
getting credit for positive behaviors, but they got more than a pat on the
back.
The Patriot Pride
Recognition & Incentive Program drew hundreds of students together for a
special assembly at Independence High School.
The program features a
points system where kids earn points in five areas: academics, attendance &
absences, sign outs, tardiness, and disciplinary referral forms.
The students are awarded
prizes that are provided through community support.
Principal
Chris Perkins says the goal is to take a bite out of the drop-out rate.
"We looked at our
drop-out issue and obviously academic standing and success," said Perkins, "and
we felt this was something that could promote the positive things that we want
our kids to do."
Around 180 students
earned prizes ranging from ball caps to movie tickets. There was even a mountain bike up for grabs.
In addition to the
prizes students were also allowed some down-time to hang out and play some
games.
