Imagine students arriving at school on a typical May morning, they pray as a school over the announcements, and then Mrs. Feely announces that St. Benedict Prep students earned over 4,000 paws this school year AND this is the day for the surprise Paw Reward! That is what happened Thursday, May 30th. Students all year were caught doing the right thing, at the right time, and being in the right place, (over 4,000 times) to earn paws this school year. This positive behavior management program has encouraged students to do the right thing, and teachers and staff at the school can recognize students for doing good deeds.
