  8. Incentive Program • Awesome Attitude Awards- If a student is caught doing something nice for someone else, they will receive an awesome attitude award. Every Friday, I choose one “AAA” for each block, and the winner will receive a candy bar or pack of gum. Students can nominate someone else for an “AAA”; however, they cannot nominate themselves. • RAVENS – Students can receive a RAVEN award ticket from any adult in the building for being 1) Respectful, 2) Responsible and/or 3) Ready.
