Students can earn Tiger Grams for making good choices as part of the positive discipline plan at Birchcrest. They are given by any adult who catches a child following directions, helping others, walking nicely in the hallway, using good manners, etc. Ask your child if he/she has earned a Tiger Gram each day. Each week, classroom teachers draw a Tiger Gram winner which is announced on Fridays. The winners get to go to Mr. Farwell's office and receive a tiger pencil. One lucky winner will also receive a book. A picture is taken of the winners and is diplayed in the school lobby.
