What’s In It For Me?

-Gryphon Bucks are the daily reinforcement that every staff member at CCGMS gives out to acknowledge students who are meeting and exceeding school-wide expectations. -Every teacher and staff member is expected to give out 5-7 a day (90 staff x about 6 GB’s = 540 GB’s that are given out daily!) -Haven’t earned one yet? Work harder to make good choices, especially when you are in the presence of another student who is not.

1) Gryphon Prize Vault  Located at the “T” of each grade level hallway  Drawings occur weekly and are announced Friday morning on announcements  Six student winners (Two from each grade level) and six staff winners  Winning students report to Room 914 (Mr. Grieser’s classroom) to select prize  Prizes include: school supplies, free entry to home Gryphon game, Café’ Cookie Certificate, Locker accessories and more!)  Special drawings at the end of each marking period (choice of $10 gift card to winners and prize vault lockers are emptied)

2) Gryphon Store -Virtual Store opens every 2-3 weeks throughout the school year -Items for purchase from 2-50 Gryphon Bucks -some of the items available for purchase: -school supplies, jewelry, Gryphon Gear, Central Gear, home athletic event passes, free admission to school dances -$10 Gift cards to Amazon, Walmart, Itunes, Google Play or GameStop -Be on the lookout for new, bigger-ticket items to add to the list by the end of October (Hint: game systems) -First Gryphon Store opening is THIS FRIDAY. For future opening, look for signs around the school that look like this.

3) Team Boosters/Incentives -If they haven’t yet shared, ask your team of teachers what incentives they have planned where you can use your Gryphon Bucks -If your team of teachers has not come up with any incentives yet, create a list of ideas to spark some thinking!

The other major piece to our school’s acknowledgement of students that consistently make good choices are celebrations. -When? – At the end of each marking period -Where? – Usually in the gym and/or outside on the activity fields -What is it? – A chance to get out of class to enjoy some free food and drinks and play games or socialize with friends
