Are you interested in an epic showdown of homerooms? Then look no further than the Gateway/Crossroads Attendance Challenge, which every student is already participating in whether they knew it or not.
All you must do to participate and contribute is go to school and you will be supporting your class and will be one step closer to achieving grand rewards. Every homeroom is competing for the top three spots.
Classes were matched up in a bracketed elimination-style set up.
Those rooms that lose in the first round are placed in the consolation bracket and compete for third place.
Rounds are decided every two weeks. The top three places will be awarded with an unspecified food-based incentive in accordance with each classroom’s placement. Show up to school and have the chance to be granted grandeur excitement of the taste buds.
If you are in a smaller class, it is even more imperative you show up because you make up a more considerable percentage of the class.
Assistant principal, Mr. Jones, was responsible for constructing The Attendance Challenge and enacting it at Gateway/Crossroads. All in one day, Mr. Jones said, “Let’s go!” and made it happen.
Mr. Jones decided to put this challenge into place in hopes of increasing attendance and rewarding the kids who go to school regularly. He mentioned that national attendance rates have been dropping and believes that students have become accustomed to the “oh, I can stay at home and do the work,” mentality. Mr. stressed that, “school is the most important thing [students] have going on at this age,” and “students need actual seat time.” Having interactions with peers and learning how to advocate for yourself helps build the foundation for being a productive adult.
Since you’re supposed to be here anyway, participate in The Attendance Challenge. If not for your own self-improvement and development, for your classmates, who all they can do is believe in you. So, take hold of your future in high school by going to school and competing in The Greatest Attendance Challenge at Gateway/Crossroads. You won’t regret attending school.
