Press release from Red Bank Regional High School

Recently, a newly appointed dining room at Red Bank’s nonprofit Lunch Break facility hosted this year’s Encourage an “A” Program, operated by The SOURCE at Red Bank Regional High School.

Now in its thirteenth year, the program encourages educational excellence in their students, awarding such gifts as flat screen TVs, HP computers, wireless headphones, a GoPro Camera and many gift cards to eligible students who earn from two to eight “A” grades in their third marking period. This year, 63 students qualified for the incentives, with the value of the gifts increasing with the number of As earned.

“Students work hard every marking period, but especially in the third marking period where they look forward to the Encourage an “A” program,” said SOURCE director Suzanne Keller. “We find that our students win gifts that they either give to their families or bring along with them to college…especially the flat screen TVs and laptop computers.”

The Encourage an “A” Program is supported through fundraising efforts of the SOURCE Foundation.The SOURCE is RBR’s School-Based Youth Services Program whose mission is to remove all obstacles that impede students’ academic success.  Its services range from quality mental health counseling to learning support initiatives. This is accomplished by offering services free of charge to students and their families including; individual, group and family counseling, preventative medical and dental care, academic support, scholarship opportunities, and recreational and cultural events.
