It’s Plinko time!! Let’s celebrate good attendance, afterall, the connection between attendance and student success is HUGE! Students who attend school regularly are more likely to succeed academically.
So, just like last month, we randomly drew 20 student names from those who have either maintained 95% attendance (1 or less days per month) or shown improved attendance from the previous month.
If your name is called, please come down to the cafeteria to play Plinko and win an awesome prize. Good luck, and keep showing up!
