Fourth-grade SOAR ambassadors describe PBIS rewards and leadership role to school board
Summary
Four fourth-grade students for the district’s SOAR ambassador program described how they support PBIS (ticketing, Golden Eagles, Eagle’s Nest) and school events; the board thanked the students and was reminded to continue support for positive-behavior programming.
Four fourth-grade students presented to the Bermudian Springs School District board about the SOAR ambassador program, explaining the students’ roles, selection process and how the program reinforces positive behavior at the elementary school.
One ambassador said the students are chosen through a formal application process in the spring and help organize prizes, produce videos, count and sort tickets for prize purchases and assist with tasks such as kindergarten dismissal. The students described a ticket-based rewards system tied to four major goals, opportunities to spend tickets in a monthly in-school store, the Eagle's Nest reward space that offers games and activities, and special recognition programs including Golden Eagles and monthly top-ticket lunches. They also outlined a house-color program and an annual "Hauspalooza" celebration.
The board thanked the students for presenting and for their leadership in the PBIS program. The presentation was described as a demonstration of student leadership and a request for continued board support to maintain safe, learning-ready buildings.
The presentation was given by students identified in the transcript as SOAR ambassadors and introduced by school staff; little debate followed and the meeting proceeded to the consent agenda.
