Eagle Academy um we have a lot of great things going on at Eagle Academy and one of our biggest resources is really our school economy which drives the whole program students are able to earn points and a point system through their progress participation behavior and how
they act on a daily basis each student has their own bank account which they earn points through the week they also earn points for participation in clubs and in work program and at the end of the week they all get to shop in our school store so it's a very big driving
motivation to to help all students participate overall in the school so basically this is marrying financial literacy along with behavior management and to be able to acquire the most points of course you're working really hard and you are having great attendance
so there are some days at Eagle Academy that everyone is at school also in our program over the last year we have acquired twice the amount of students as the year previous we are hustling and bustling and and doing great things and some of the students if they are willing
would like to and also are passing all of their classes and don't have discipline referrals have the opportunity to work on Fridays within the district at cafeterias libraries and even in the kindergarten and when they participate in this program and they're learning about how to really you know do
a job and take Direction they're earning more points as well as getting paid $2 a week we also have the opportunity at Eagle Academy to do a lot of Hands-On life skills including including building picnic tables building shelters for outside and doing things for the
community we also have a lot of fantastic Community Partnerships and we do a lot of trips out and field trips to Reed's Farm the funny farm to help in the kitchens there to help with the animals and also every Friday when our
students are out going to work a lot of students REM remain back in the school and are doing financial literacy as well as having presentations from the Community some of our budget highlights of how we are saving money for the district is that we are able to run
after school clubs every Wednesday at no additional cost to the district at all we're able to offer weightlifting we have board games we're starting to have a Gamers Club crafts we have a fantastic Art Club and even one thing that's new this year is our construction club which
