** To explain THE WHEEL... If any student receives a perfect score (100) on any major test, or other major assessment, then he/she will earn the chance to SPIN THE WHEEL. The "WHEEL" has various "rewards" on it and whatever the "wheel" lands on, the student will"win" that particular "prize".
Also, the opportunity to "SPIN THE WHEEL", will be awarded to those students who exhibit a consistent positive behavior, attitude, kindness and demeanor , fitting of the "values" which The Davis Academy represents. Kindness, respect, caring etc. are things which should be displayed throughout the day, and those who behave in this manner, without trying to impress, will be rewarded, as well.
