As the Lincoln Community High
School semester came to a close last week, students participating in
Freshman Academy were looking forward to cashing in on their
semester's achievements. The students in the program for at risk
students were awarded daily with certificate dollars for good
behaviors such as attendance, punctuality, homework and other
efforts.

On Wednesday, teacher Michelle Hobbs with some assistance from other
teachers organized the wide variety of wares they had attained for
the students to purchase with their reward dollars. |
|
Ms. Hobbs said that the business community was very generous with
donations. Culvers, Wal-Mart, Stuffed Aria Pizza and others donated
gift cards and Reeds Sporting Goods, Bloomington donated a wide
variety of sportswear. Dr. Todd Krueger also made donations to the
program. A number of other local businesses donated items as well,
and a few people purchased and donated either goods or gift-cards to
help reward the students for doing well in school this semester. |

Decorative Christmas bags along the side of
the room stood waiting to be filled with goods the students would
choose this day.
