Reaching 70 Ticks

Michael has been working hard at school to show the school values.  When he gets caught being respectful, responsible or resilient Michael gets a tick.  This week Michael made it to 70 ticks and he got to choose a reward to celebrate this.  Michael chose to raise the school flag.  He seemed to really enjoy this responsibility and many of his friends came to support him as he did this.
