 * ==** This year I am implementing a new program for Business Technology Essentials. I hope that students and parents alike will see this as a positive step toward making sure that the students of Sylvania School graduate with the employability skills necessary to succeed in the workplace. ** ==
 * ==** The idea of "Company" originally came from Renee Pay. I got the idea from two teachers in Auburn, Al. ** ==
 * ==** Our "company" is called Ram Pride, Inc. I am the director and the students are the employees. For each item an employee does correctly, he or she will earn Ram Bucks. Ram bucks can be used to participate in an auction every 4.5 weeks. If a student earns a certain amount of Ram Bucks, his or her name will be entered for an Employee Incentive Drawing held every 4.5 weeks. Employees will also receive demerits or lose Ram Bucks when not following class rules, disturbing class, not being prepared, etc. ** ==
 * ==** Ram Bucks do not affect an employees grade!!! It is purely an incentive program!!! ** ==
 * ==** Each employee will have a copy of the Ram Pride, Inc. Policy Manual that is kept in their Employee Handbook. ** ==
 * ==** The policy manual must be signed by parents and employee. ** ==
