New Prizes With The Pack App

In case you haven’t heard about the running with the pack app, you should most definitely give it a look to earn points and win prizes. The running with the pack app has been around for 5 years. According to Mr. Heyward, “The whole premise of it is to get the students of Palisade involved and get them to do different things.” It is a great way to get them to join different events and more activities.

There are different ways you can earn points to win different prizes. One way you can do so is by going to different sport events or activities and checking in on the app. Something to note is you cannot earn points at away games or activities. Another way to earn points is if a teacher catches a student doing something with positive character they will pull that student aside and will give them a QR code to scan to get 5 extra points for good behavior. Mr. Hayward said, “We are trying to figure out what students value, and a lot of that is time.” The prize they offered for this is what is known as buddy lunch. Mr. Bollinger explained the process behind it. How buddy lunch works is a younger classman gets the opportunity to go off campus with an upperclassman during academic and lunch time. Only one person has to cash in 30 points for the both of them to go off campus. Another recent prize is a running with the pack t-shirt for 30 points. There are a lot of other prizes that can be won such as a palisade lanyard for 20 points and popcorn you can purchase with 10 of your points, along with a refill for 5 points. Mr. Hayward commented, “It is really driven by what we think students will want and really we want them to be invested here at Palisade High School.” So download the app if you haven’t yet to earn points at sport events and activities.
