Mark your calendars for this event on Dec 1st.
Students were greeted with the official Draft Pick Music as their names were called and they were “drafted” onto one of the three PBIS teams—Team Responsible, Team Respectful, or Team Safe. The celebration included a variety of fun, low-maintenance activities such as the PBIS Team Toss, Paper Football Challenge, and quick relay games that kept the energy high and the laughter rolling.
Throughout the event, students showed outstanding behavior, positive sportsmanship, and teamwork. Teachers and staff cheered on their teams, and everyone enjoyed the spirited, sports-themed atmosphere.
The ICMS PBIS Team would like to congratulate all students who earned their place in the PBIS Draft Party and remind everyone to continue being Responsible, Respectful, and Safe every day at Irwin County Middle School.
