Did you know that P.B.I.S. stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports? This is the way that a lot of schools look to reward students for doing the right thing instead of punishing those who do the wrong thing.

And, remember, to check your point balance! You can use your points to get cool stuff from the Tornado Zone on Thursdays during lunch.
