So I appreciate each of you. \r\n\r\nThis year, I decided to implement a more robust incentive of having students receive good news notes to take home for excellent classroom behavior. The multicolored paper came in handy, as I was able to use this to print my good news notes. The toner kit provided also aided in getting these printed. The toner kit also assisted in taking care of emergency printing when I could not make it to the lounge on time.
