PEORIA - A Peoria
elementary school is kicking off a new semester with a focus on positive
behavior.
More than
500 Hines Elementary students listened to local children's singer Julie K.
Principal
Heather Young said the concert is fun, effective and a way to motivate the
students. She said the school follows a system called "Positive Behavior
Intervention Support" and every new year is a time to re-teach that. "We wanted
to make sure it was fun and it was related to the expectations. We get our
model around what we call the "Four B's" which is be respectful, be
responsible, be safe and always be ready to learn."
Young said
students with good behavior get "B" bucks. She said the kids can then cash
their bucks in for a prize.
