Cinemark Movie Theatres Rewarding Good Behavior

A Pearland Tx. school bus driver has learned the secret on getting elementary children to behave on the bus. Instead of constantly threatening them with punishment, she began to reward their good behavior. A weekly contest, with only three rules. Don't hit anybody, don't scream, and whatever you do, don't stand up. The children were rewarded with a certificate and a prize from a treasure box. It worked. It worked so well that the driver, Julianne Bruce, decided that on the last day of school they would have a "Super Turbo Mega Award".  She wanted to send each of them to the movies, but on a bus drivers salary ($800 per month) it was impossible. So, she wrote a letter to Cinemark Theatres and explained about the contest, and how good the kids had been, and even shared their school bus motto "Two Cheeks on a Seat".  They responded immediately, with only one question "How many children do you need tickets for? " .  "It just made me cry." Julianne said. "I didn't know how I was going to come through for these kids, and they (Cinemark) made it happen. I am so grateful for their generosity.".  Cinemark donated 26 tickets to the children of bus 210. In the scheme of things it was a small gesture, but to the kids it was a big as a Transformer.
