Happy Holidays!
This holiday season is unlike any other, to cap off a year unlike any other. Throughout this season, and as we move into a new (and hopefully better) year, we want to extend our deepest thanks for all you do to create more PAX in the world.
May you find peace, productivity, health, and happiness this holiday season and through the coming year.

High School Students Use Tootle Notes Too!
High School students from PPEP Tech High School-Jose Yepez Learning Center in Arizona created this Tootle Note board to recognize PAX behaviors in peers.
Did you know using positive peer reinforcement reduces bullying or other forms of intimidation of others and the lifetime risk of suicide?
Increase PAX and Student Engagement with PAX Jobs!
When using student jobs, keep in mind:
- Use PAX Stix to randomly assign jobs.
- Post PAX Student Job cards as visual reminder of assigned position.
- Provide specific instructions for each job and give feedback on performance.
- Every student should have a job.
- Many classroom jobs can be performed as a team or with an assistant.
- Allow students to model or provide "on the job training" to peers.
Need suggestions for student jobs?
