Starting at the beginning of the fourth marking period, students will receive cash rewards for showing good behavior in classrooms and the hallways.

Most people will ask how much will a student get as a reward and how many rewards are going to be given out?

From now until the end of the school year, one student a week will receive $100. They will be chosen by random draw of a pool of students recommended by their teachers.

Senior Kaylee Hill, the 2017 homecoming queen, thinks this new change is a great one.

“I think it’s about time good students start getting appreciated for good behavior,” Hill said. “I wish I would have gotten money for being homecoming queen.”

Acts that can get you nominated to win the $100 prize are things like helping someone with homework problems they struggle with, keeping a smooth flow of traffic in the hallways, or staying after class to help a teacher clean the classroom.

Junior Joshua Gunther feels like this incentive will motivate students to make the right choices.

“I’d be a better student if I knew that I was going to get 100 bucks,” Gunther said.

The whole idea is to give students a good reason to be respectful and responsible every day of the year.

This will promote good behavior and hopefully make KHS a better place.

Freshman Seth Bowie is excited about this new reward system.

“I’m going to make sure I’m always trying to do something so I can get this prize,” Bowie said. “I want to save up and buy a new game.”

Keep an eye out for a way to make a difference and you may score a $100 prize for yourself.
