CATS cash storeThe CATS cash store was created by the PBIS team to help with discipline. Students were able to earn CATS cash by showing Lincoln PRIDE (positive, respect, independent, dedicated, and excellence.) Leadership students were asked to create a spread sheet to keep up with how much money students had to spend and how much the student spent. The leadership team worked at the store, and used the spread sheets to keep up with student purchases.
