At Struthers High School, there was an incentive held in front of the office, right after school on Thursday, February 16th.
The incentive is where the students will receive ice cream at the end of the day. They had all sorts of ice creams. The students have the option of ice cream sandwiches, fudge bars and drum sticks.

In order to get an incentive, students have to follow the RED system. RED stands for Responsible, Elite, and Dedicated. Students who followed the RED system got a higher chance of receiving a card for the incentive.
The Struthers School District gave students an opportunity to have a relaxing end of the day.
“The incentive was fun. It was a little treat for those that do what they are told. It was really delightful and very kind of the school to be doing this for their students,” says freshman Ryan Gulu.
There are two incentives, one near the middle of the year and one near the end of the year. Some of the teachers have talked about what the incentive should have or what the incentive should do. The Struthers School District helped the students want to achieve
