In our first year of implementation, we received a PBS Model School designation for our 6th Grade Center. Our

discipline referrals had decreased significantly and our recognition program was a hit with the students and faculty.

Fear Factor is held in October so students have

had time to collect enough Sand Dollars to

purchase a ticket. Our second semester

event is the Luau. This is another extremely

popular PBS Experience.

Set up and organization for the Luau requires dedication and a

tremendous amount of teacher and student labor.
