Positive Reinforcement

• PRIDE Paws are issued by Traughber staff members to students who “go the extra mile” to help out and show the pillars of Character Counts.  Recipients of PRIDE Paws are entered into a raffle at the end of each quarter.
• Panther Pins are pins that are awarded to students who are nominated by Traughber staff that show Character Counts characteristics.  Pins are awarded at the end of each semester.  Students are eligible for Panther Pins once each year at Traughber.
• Panther Parties are held at the end of each semester for students who have received no suspensions, no Saturday Schools, and no more than 1 detention.  The winter Panther Party is held at Funway, and the spring Panther Party is held at the Civic Center.
