MOIS TIGER TALK

Mary Orr Intermediate School serves over 600 fifth and sixth grade students. The needs and backgrounds of these students are extremely diverse. We have developed an incentive program that rewards students for excellence in academics and citizenship called Tiger Stripes. This program has proven to be very successful and encourages students to contribute to our school and community in many positive ways. The success of this program has been aided tremendously by the support of area businesses.

This student incentive program allows students to earn a form of money that can be used to purchase a variety of items, both within and outside of the school. Real world skills are developed as students learn to use a register to record deposits and withdrawals. The incentive program allows teachers, parents, and other staff members to reinforce positive behavior in students who are in need of extra encouragement.

The last year has been very challenging for our students, families, and businesses. However, we know that our children are our future. It is my hope that you will help us recognize those students who are working to achieve and excel in our public schools. We are soliciting your donation of services, gift certificates, tickets, and/or merchandise. We would welcome your support if you or your business can participate. Thank you in advance for your consideration of our incentive program.
