Miller Links are given to the entire class of students for exhibiting positive behavior - any Miller staff member can award links. When a class gets 10, 25, and 50, the class receives a classroom reward from a predetermined list of rewards. When a class earns 62 links and hits the floor, the class will receive a classroom reward.
Each Thursday, all classroom teachers will nominate students (3-4) from their homeroom class that exhibit behaviors aligned to C.A.R.E. The students will vote anonymously for the Champ of the Week on Friday. The Champ of the week will be announced in their classroom at the end of the day on Friday.
Champs will take home stuffed animal (class mascot) and a journal and share about their weekend in the journal. Students are encouraged to add pictures to the journal.
Students will work towards a different character trait each month. Teachers will choose 1 student that has shown the most growth with their character trait and they will be in the Counselor’s Character Club. The Counselor’s Character Club is recognized once a month and gets to eat lunch lunch on stage with our counselor Mrs. Young.
Miller Money is awarded to individual students. Students can earn Miller Money in all location of the school for exhibiting qualities of C.A.R.E.

Their ticket will go in the spot that correlates to that number on the Positive Office Referral Board in the main hallway. When 10 squares in a row are filled, those 10 students will have the opportunity to win a mystery prize from the Principal. The mystery prize will be announced on Fridays.
