On Friday March 15, students at the high school who displayed good behavior participated in a school-wide event. The last PBIS event was  a basketball game that teachers could participate in, with added entertainment from the pep band. Students had much more choice this time around, with about twenty events for students to choose from. Students could use their crimson cash to sign up early, and even the those who forgot to sign up could watch a movie or the dodgeball tournament. Sophomore Crystal Wolfe said, “PBIS events gives us a break from classes and let’s us have some fun.”

Now that’s entertainment!” said senior Victoria Oswald.

She provided snacks based off of the show, like jello with a stapler in it. Senior Emma Motto said. “I thought it was really fun. I enjoyed the office-themed snacks. I also liked hanging out with my friends.”

It was fun to see my friends compete with each other,” said sophomore Amie Ashfield.

I liked the team ideas for what they were going to wear, like the jerseys and the pink out. It very competitive, but everyone had fun in the end,” said freshman Grant Lapachinsky.
