For the past month, students at Highland have been earning tickets for a prize drawing. Teachers and staff gave out tickets to students who they saw working hard, following directions, being helpful, and being kind. Today the winners were drawn. Prizes were bought with a monetary donation from a community member who wanted staff to be able to buy rewards for students that will keep them active. Congrats students!!
