Our new and exciting rewards and incentives Explorer Brag Tag program began this year!

All students should have received a chain and an Academic Olympics tag to start out the year.  Many students also received additional explorer tags at our 1st quarter Awards Ceremony last month.  The tags shown above represent a sample of the many tags available for student recognition. 

Throughout the remainder of the school year the PTA will award Explorer Brag Tags for the following achievements and participation in school/PTA activities:

  ~ Principal's Honor Roll

  ~ Honor Roll

  ~ Commitment

  ~ Perfect Attendance

  ~ Morning Show Crew

  ~ Safety Patrol

  ~ Student Council

  ~ Guitar Club

  ~ Strings Club

  ~ Chorus

  ~ Reflections

  ~ Science Fair Winners

  ~ Service Learning (5, 10 and 15
      passport stamps and
      Service Leader tags)

  ~ Math Bowl Teams

 

In addition, MacFarlane Park faculty will also have the option of rewarding students with additional Explorer Tags for achievements in their particular classrooms.  This portion of the reward and incentive program should be up and running in the new year.

Students are responsible for taking care of their own chains and whatever tags they earn throughout the year.  We will not be able to replace lost chains or tags.  Please encourage your children to place their tags on their chain and proudly display them by attaching them to their backpacks or shoelaces.

As this is a new program for our school, we welcome any additional ideas.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any comments or suggestions.
