At the middle school where I work, students receive "Character Counts" coupons from staff members when they are caught being kind, responsible, trustworthy, honest, etc. etc. They can save these coupons and save them for various items at our student store.
Yesterday a cute little 7th grade boy came in with a big stack that he had been saving for a long time. He had 100 coupons, enough to get a Memorial Middle School sweatshirt. He asked for a size too large for him, and the teacher asked if he was sure he didn't want to get one that would fit better. He said, "Oh, it's not for me. My big sister (in 8th grade) really wants one, so I want to give it to her."
Periodically on Friday afternoon we have drawings of the coupons that have been turned in. We had a drawing today, and guess what. That little guy won a sweatshirt for himself!
What a great kid!
