Participants of ESE are rewarded for exhibiting positive behavior that reflects upon the foundation of the RICHER Principles: Respect, Integrity, Caring, Harmony, Excellence and Responsibility. This incentive program is based upon positive character development that promotes fundamental life skills and attributes. The RICHER Principles are taught through modeled behaviors, interpersonal communication, applied skills and demonstration of the positive character attributes in all elements of the students’ daily lives. Some of the rewards for exhibiting positive behavior include RICHER dollars, popcorn and movie Fridays, and voting on the group game activities on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The Group Game club runs as usual, but if time permits and the students are demonstrating the RICHER principles, then they are allowed to vote on a fun activity. The kids love this club, and it is shaping up to be an OP favorite!

As fall approaches, football season is just around the corner. We have a football club at the OP ESE program that spreads the fever! The kids learn the basic skills, run drills, and even participate in flag football games. Think Payton Manning and Marvin Harrison are good? Well, here’s your chance to show us what you’ve got! Come join in the mayhem!
