🎉 Dragon Attendance Incentive Winner! 🐉

This year, Harlan Independent Schools rolled out a brand-new attendance incentive to celebrate students who show up and give their best every single day!

Each week that a student has perfect attendance — meaning no check-ins late and no early checkouts — they earn a ticket for a chance to win a district prize at the end of the nine weeks. That means a student can earn up to nine chances per quarter! As part of the incentive, students must be present the day of the drawing to claim their prize.

👏 Congratulations to this nine-weeks winner, Hunter Brock! Your dedication and commitment to being present each day truly make you a role model for your fellow Dragons.

💚 A special thank you goes out to our community partner and generous prize donor, the Boys & Girls Club of Appalachia, for supporting our students and helping us celebrate the importance of attendance!
