Thursday, May 8th - May Flower Bates Bucks incentive

Hi All,

Bates has a nice tradition called the May Flower Bates Bucks incentive.

The May Flower event is an incentive where students are rewarded for academic successes, good study habits and good behavior.  The students are able to purchase flowers with Bates Bucks (our school currency) they have earned through hard work. Students will go home with plants to give to their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and others in honor of Mother’s Day.  It is a wonderful event for the students at Bates! 

Parents:   We need your help for this incentive ... 

Donations of plants, annuals, ribbon, tissue paper, construction paper, stickers, pipe cleaners, mugs, plastic cups, potting soil, seeds, gift cards, cash or TIME.

Contact Ms. Haggard at khaggard@aacps.org for more info and times to volunteer.

Sincerely,

Bates Middle School PBIS Committee
