The VIES Bulldog Store is Open for Business!
Students were able to go shopping and spend their hard earned Bulldog Bucks at the PBIS Store. Every quarter students earn Bulldog Bucks for their behavior and at the end of the quarter they are able to spend them. Students have learned many things through this new PBIS incentive: how to be responsible with their Bucks, budgeting, and how you can earn Bucks through hard work and positive behaviors.
