What makes a VIP? 

I have a VIP table in my room that a different student sits at each day. In order to be chosen as the VIP student one must exhibit the following: being a good example, doing your personal best, being a good model citizen, being a leader, being a good friend and being a hard worker. The VIP each day helps me decide who will be the VIP the next day. The VIP gets water and a snack from me as well as some fun supplies to use throughout the day and they get to choose one person to sit with them at a high top table at lunch.
