On May 15, the Willowbrook Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) team hosted its annual end-of-year barbecue.

The PBIS program was implemented in fall 2007 to teach students expected behaviors, rules and what it means to be a Willowbrook Warrior. The goal of the program is to develop a positive school climate through creating common language and standards. The barbecue is a time to celebrate improved behaviors at Willowbrook.

Staff and students volunteered during the event, and administrators took to the grill and cooked up a tasty lunch for participants.
