VIDEO: Students Give Teachers a Bath
Alta Loma Middle School students got to do what most kids only dream of on Tuesday: they soaked their teachers in a dunk tank.
As a reward for academic achievement, students had the chance to soak their teachers and principal in a dunk tank on Tuesday.
The school's Positive Incentive Program seeks to promote school-wide achievement by rewarding students for meeting certain goals. Previous rewards include giving the students a uniform-free day where teachers had to wear school uniforms.
This time, the goal was that 85 percent of students would pass six out of seven classes. When they met it, they were allowed to vote on the 10 staff members who would face the dunk tank.
