    Rewards

    Academics First has partnered with Prolific Sports and Celebrity Booking Agency to impart to our students the importance of education and our smart choice program. We have arranged for our students to attend small assemblies with successful athletes and/or celebrities who will answer questions from the students, discuss the importance of education, and how to develop the qualities needed to succeed in life. These activities are offered to students in grades four through nine.

     

    Pizza, hoagie and ice cream sundae parties will reward students attending grades one through three. Additionally, students will receive prizes based on attendance, class participation and improved test scores at the end of the program.
