In Joplin, one thing that has increased over the last few years is the support our schools are receiving from the community. Local restaurants have really stepped up to help by donating portions of their profits on particular nights. I have no doubt that they receive free advertising and higher profits on school nights, but at the same time their donations help to lighten the atmosphere in our school. One of our most generous participants is Joplin's Qdoba restaurant. In their first year as our partner, the good people at Qdoba have sponsored a burrito eating contest for teachers during a school assembly, they have provided soft tacos as a class reward, and they have honored teachers. Last Thursday, as the culminating part of our January Reward Celebration for positive behaviors, Qdoba provided soft tacos for our entire school. Every child who had not received an office referral enjoyed this special treat. Finally, Cecil Floyd received a portion of Thursday evening's profits at the restaurant. On that night, teachers competed in unique contests, students enjoyed a balloon artist, and a good time was had for all.
