RBR Encourage an A Program Brings Up the Grade for Many Students

The program provides an academic incentive for RBR's student to work hard and achieve as many A's as possible.

On April 26, over 40 Red Bank Regional High School (RBR) students celebrated their stellar academic accomplishments at the school during its annual Encourage and “A” Program and celebratory dinner, sponsored by the RBR SOURCE.

The SOURCE Director Suzanne Keller told the students, “We are so very proud of you for your accomplishments and we know you have been working really hard to achieve your goals.”

One by one, students were called up to receive a gift certificate to a favored teenage retail store up to lap tops and even flatscreen TVs. The value of the gift ascended with the number of A’s the students earned in their third marking period this school year.
