PRIDE Exchange • An online system was made to help students use their currency to shop at the EAA “online store” • The system was created to keep students in class, but still gives students access to the items in the store. • During designated shopping times, students visit the “online store” and write down their order on an order slip. • Items are then delivered to the student by a staff member within 1 school day.
It’s OK, I like the idea of being able to save currency to buy stuff. -Jeremy (HS) I think it’s good. You get currency for showing PRIDE at EAA. -Breanna (HS) I think it’s cool and fair because the ones that are doing right deserve things like rewards. -Ciara (HS) I think it’s a wonderful way to show students how to deal with money and show rewards for good behavior. -Esara (HS) What are your thoughts on the PRIDE program? I think that the teachers go over EAA PRIDE Program a little too much, but sometimes it works. -Tyler (HS)
