Page 2 — Wednesday, September 23, 2009, The Millen News JCMS announces the ‘Caught Ya!’ Program Jenkins County Middle School (JCMS) believes that everyone thrives on positive reinforcement. It feels good to have someone recognize your efforts, but often they go unnoticed. Good behavior, so cial skills, and citizenship are essential to learning and suc ceeding, not only in school but in life. This is why new seventh grade ELA teacher Mrs. Moira McNeil-Acree and seventh grade math teacher Mrs. Laurie Fleming collaborated and devel oped the new “Caught Ya!” pro gram to support positive behav ior. It is based on students be ing "caught” doing something positive. All staff members (adminis trators, teachers, paraprofes- sionals, secretaries, the counse lor, cafeteria personnel and the custodian) will have the discre tion to award good behavior by giving students a ticket when they are “caught”. The focus of the program is on teaching students a set of values and character traits that support a positive and caring educational environment. Stu dents take their tickets to the office. The principal, Mrs. Nicole Moulton, lets the stu dents choose a small prize as an immediate reinforcement when positive behaviors are exhibited. This also encourages students to get used to going to the principal’s office for some thing “positive”. National Hunting and Fishing Day is Saturday A free fishing day is offered to all Georgia residents on Sept. 26 in celebration of the 2009 Na tional Hunting and Fishing Day. On this day, residents do not need a fishing license or a trout license to fish on any public wa ters in the state including lakes, streams, ponds and public fish ing areas (PFA). In addition, resi dents do not need to obtain a wild life management area (WMA) li cense to fish on a PFA, WMA or on Waters Creek on this day. And if you thought the day could not get better - it just did. Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites are offering a free day on Sept. 26 which means no park ing or admission fees. The U.S. Congress and Presi dent Richard Nixon established National Hunting and Fishing Day 38 years ago to recognize generations of hunters and an glers for the time and money - more than a billion dollars each year - they donate to wildlife con servation programs. According to the proclamation signed by Gov ernor Perdue, conserving the state’s natural and wildlife re sources is one of the most impor tant responsibilities for this and future generations, and the con servation programs supported and financed by Georgia hunters and anglers have benefited hundreds of wildlife species, including deer, wild turkeys, bald eagles and songbirds for all Georgians to enjoy.
