Book Bucks reward achievement


By Jessica Zamarron

At Waldo Middle School we provide something called a "Book Buck." A Book Buck is kind of like a dollar. For every "A" you earn on your report card, you get a dollar off from the book fair. All you have to do is get your report card and show the librarian your report card. You can spend Book Bucks on books.

I interviewed Mrs. Nelson (the librarian) and here are the questions:

Q: What is a Book Buck?
A: "For every A on your new report card you get to spend $1 in the book fair."

Q: Why do we provide Book Bucks at Waldo?
A: "It is a nice way to reward students for working well in school."

Q: How long has Waldo provided Book Bucks?
A: "About five years."

Q: Has it helped increase the number of As?
A: "Yes, by about 400 As."

As you see, the Book Buck is a great way to reward students with As. So come to conferences and spend all your Book Bucks! I know that I'll be there, and I'm looking forward to getting that new book!
