The Valliant Middle School values attendance and wants to reward students who are present each day. Students with one (1) absence or less each month beginning in September will have a chance to be entered into a drawing for a $50 Wal*Mart gift card in December and a TV in May. The more months you have with one (1) absence or less, the more entries into the drawing you receive. As an added bonus, students will be eligible for smaller prizes each month. However, you have to attend school to win!
