We have some testing incentives set up to help motivate our students. Anyone improving any of their test scores will get to attend our MAP achievement party in the fall. Each class whose overall score beats their own last year's class will be invited to the party as well. In addition we have daily attendance drawings for gift certificates to local establishments. And once again we have our travelling trophy contest with Plattsburg Middle School. The winner gets to keep the trophy for the year, and the loser presents it to the winning school at a ball game next fall.
As if those things aren't enough, the teachers keep track of each student's effort and attitude on a daily basis. Students that really seem to be trying hard, have a positive attitude and come prepared will be rewarded with a trip to the movies in May.
The travelling trophy contest was enough motivation for me! :)
