BERGHOLZ John Gregg Elementary students have an incentive to perform well on tests by earning real stars for their high scores.
“This is the second year for the program,” said Principal Tammy Burchfield. “We have four winners, and they will receive a certificate with a star’s location and get to name the star.”
