| Our
History
Inspired by the late Bayard H. Friedman, the advisory board
has spearheaded and facilitated a most successful School Incentive
Program—Score A Goal in the Classroom. A program designed
to encourage and motivate students, kindergarten through 12th
grade, with positive rewards and an opportunity to raise grades,
achieve better attendance, and become a more responsible citizen.
It is a collaborative effort between the business community,
school personnel, professional sports, and entertainment venues.
Individual and local businesses contribute a wide variety
of awards, incentives and programs by donating time, products,
services and financial assistance. Superintendents are contacted
and presented the program. School board members and school
representatives are contacted and asked to furnish a breakdown
in their district as to the number of students in all schools.
Teachers establish student goals in needed areas where students
can earn special awards in the form of free tickets to area
sporting events and entertainment venues. Tickets are then
distributed to the schools at the end of each grading period.
In 1999-2000, 34 school districts and 19 private and church
schools in Johnson, Parker, and Tarrant counties participated
in the program. 197,000 ticket vouchers and passes to Metroplex
sports and entertainment venues were distributed to 108,350
students.
Score a Goal in the Classroom is designed so that area students
can participate in a program that has been proven to provide
them with opportunities that positively affect their educational
experience and future success. In relation, it is also vital
to honor school employees who work with students on a daily
basis. Overall, the existence of Score a Goal in the Classroom
is solely for the benefit of students, administrators, educators
and employees. In the process, attaining the mission —
training, encouraging and molding the leaders of our future.
