Chance to win attendance prizes

Students who attend school on a regular basis consistently do better in their class work and now, at Yosemite High School, they will have an opportunity to be rewarded for perfect attendance on a monthly basis.

“This year at Yosemite High School we would like to salute those students who give themselves the greatest opportunity to soar scholastically,” says YHS Assistant Principal Randy Haggard.

Mr. Haggard and members of an Attendance Incentive Committee are soliciting donations from the community for the program.

Students with perfect attendance in any given month will receive 10 tickets — five for the monthly drawing and five for a drawing at the end of the year.

The monthly drawing will reward students for that month only; the annual drawing will be from the accumulated tickets students have deposited each month and will be for a larger prize.

Mr. Haggard says the YHS administrators decided to start this program “in order to provide other than negative consequences for poor attendance and truancy. This plan will provide specific rewards which students will see as an attraction to improve attendance.”

Anyone who would like to make a contribution toward this Attendance Incentive Plan, or who would like more information, can contact Mr. Haggard at 683-4667.
