Cultivating Excellence and Camaraderie: Link Crew's Honors Ticket System
By: Isabella Brusuzyan '24
In the heart of our school community, Mr. Humphreys, the passionate leader of the Link Crew, has launched an inspiring journey to uplift our students and instill life-enhancing values. The Link Crew's Honors Ticket System is not just about tickets. It's about mentorship, nurturing positivity, and creating lasting bonds in our educational journey, starting right with sixth graders. At its core, this innovative program introduces the concept of a ticket system, which acts as a beacon of motivation and recognition for students who consistently exhibit exceptional behavior and attitude. Thanks to a generous budget of $2500, we are all set to embark on a thrilling adventure that promises both challenges and rewards. Twice a semester, we're treated to exciting rallies. The first rally brings high school and middle school students into a friendly but fierce competition, with the prize being a substantial sum ranging from $250 to $300. These rallies serve not only as a source of excitement but also as a testament to the dedication of our students. To cap it off, there's a tasty pizza party at the end of each month to celebrate their achievements.
The most enchanting aspect of this program is the grand prize. From elementary to middle school and high school, one standout student from each level gets to claim a fabulous prize, making their efforts all the more worthwhile. But that's not where the excitement ends. The ultimate winner, chosen among these three exceptional individuals, takes home an even more magnificent reward. It's a thrilling twist that keeps everyone on their toes. As we reach the end of each month, we're also thrilled to honor our Students of the Month. In this heartwarming ceremony, students have the opportunity to cast their votes for peers who they believe deserve recognition. The chosen student is then given the privilege to select a fun, surprise popper of their choice as a token of our appreciation.
The ticket drawing process, crucial for maintaining fairness and transparency, is a captivating affair. Each ticket is lovingly placed on a massive 10x10 board, and the selection process unfolds as an entertaining bingo game. The end result? Twenty lucky students who'll soon savor the joy of a pizza party with our principal and a cherished friend of their choice. It's a delightful way to recognize their remarkable conduct and positive influence on their peers. Within the thrilling activities and celebrations, the Link Crew's Honors Ticket System not only promotes commendable behavior but also strengthens the bonds of mentorship, imparts valuable life lessons, and fosters a sense of camaraderie in our educational community. Mr. Humphreys and his dedicated team are lighting the path to a brighter future, one ticket at a time, and their efforts are already showing in the beaming faces of our students.
