LGE Enjoys a PBIS Refresh!
LGE held a PBIS Refresh assembly where the staff & students reiterated what LEAP stands for and then played an exciting match of “pull the paper” with previous LEAP ticket winners randomly selected to play against the teacher who gave them the LEAP ticket! The 2 players sat in chairs with long paper strips between them and had to use only their feet to see who could pull the paper toward themselves first!
