As the 2012-2013 school year approaches its end, our Moore PBIS team and teachers are hard at work preparing for our third annual PBIS Carnival.

So what is PBIS?  Positive Behavior Intervention Support is a way to focus our students on the positive rather than the negative.  Our team is working to improve our school by highlighting those behaviors that support our campus rules of: Be Safe, Be Responsible, and Be Respectful.

Beginning the first week of May our campus faculty and staff have begun to reward our students with Mustang Bucks for exhibiting safety, responsibility, and respect.  Students who collect at least five Mustang Bucks will be able to enjoy our third PBIS Carnival held on May 31^st but the more Bucks you earn the more fun you’ll have.  This is going to be a fun filled day with at least 18 booths, a concession stand, and lots of laughter.  Each booth will cost between 1-4 Mustang Bucks to participate.  Oh did we mention…It’s during the school day!  That is incentive enough to take a break from the rigor of class to go have fun with your friends.

What might be some of the entertaining activities at our PBIS Carnival?  Students will be able to show off their wicked video game skills at our Wii/Xbox challenge. If students can throw a ball at a target, they might just be able to send an administrator or teacher into a pool of water.  Our athletic Mustangs will be able to test their skills at our basketball shoot-out, three legged races, football toss and more.  For the Mustangs that like the more traditional carnival booths we will have a hula hoop contest, cake walk, ring toss, face painting, and much more.

The concession stand will require food tickets (not Mustang Bucks) to purchase snack items such as soda, chips, popcorn, and candy.  These concession stand tickets will be sold the week of the carnival as well as the day of the carnival.  More information on the tickets will be available the closer we get to our PBIS Carnival.

Our Faculty and Staff would like to encourage our Mustangs to be the best that they can be throughout the rest of the year so they can earn enough Mustang Bucks to participate in as many events as they can at our PBIS Carnival on May 31^st.  We know our Mustangs will surpass our highest expectations!!
