Math Ticket OUT
Nike Math Ticket Out was held on Feb.22 as a time for students to relax with friends and play various games with NIKE team members. Students that have been working hard for the entire trimester and earned a total of 30 math stickers for IXL completion, tenmarks 80% or higher, meeting on fluency math test, making growth on star/ECRA projections, and even just simply completing homework for the week earned the privilege to enjoy 2 hours of uninterrupted game time.
