RACE with PRIDE

Students will earn “Colt Cash” for meeting our school wide expectations and spend their earnings on a variety of fun activities and privileges.

A token economy is the method for reinforcement of behavior.

Reward activities include RACE days every other Friday when student may use their Colt Cash to get out of class for 24 minutes to gather with their friends in our courtyard. The RACE activity offers music, conversation, and friendly competition between grade levels in games like limbo, Frisbee golf, beach ball bounce, or team scavenger hunts to establish bragging rights as the winner of the Class Domination Challenge.

Other random rewards include impromptu bid wars that allow classes to pool their money to bid on fresh cookies or donuts for the class. Themes days such as jersey, crazy hat, and silly socks are also provided for student to use their Colt Cash to buy the right to wear these items.

We also provide whole school activities designed to celebrate school wide positive behavior support. The special days, Fall Festival and FCAT Field Day, allow students and teachers to celebrate success together. A carnival atmosphere is the goal of the Fall Festival, there are craft tables, carnival games, face painting, video games, and large inflatable games for students to enjoy. The Fall Festival provides students a chance to enjoy their teachers, their friends, and fun games and activities while spending their Colt Cash.

In the spring, the FCAT Field Day is another opportunity for students to spend their Colt Cash on sports and games and a Student v. Faculty basketball game.

Character assemblies focus the students on our school wide expectations and foster a safe, caring, and respectful environment at our school. Assemblies occur monthly on issues such as bullying, goal setting, motivation, and making transitions during adolescence. Special guests such as Chris Holyfield, Tommy Nugent, and Omega Man, and come to our school to bring entertainment to the important messages of motivation, self-control, and tolerance.
