🦁 PBIS Quarter Days are coming to Tri-C! 💙🧡
Friday, September 4th
Throughout the school year, students can earn the opportunity to participate in Quarter Days through positive behavior and following our ROAR expectations!
On Quarter Days, students may bring quarters to purchase special treats such as:
🍿 Popcorn
🍬 Candy — Starburst, Skittles, suckers & more
☀️ And sometimes even popsicles!
The best part? All money raised through Quarter Days goes right back to our students! Funds are used to help purchase prizes and incentives for our ROAR Store.
Quarter Days are another fun way we can recognize students for making great choices while supporting our school-wide PBIS program.
Good Choices. Great Rewards.
