As the first semester of school dwindles down, is there a special somebody in your house making top grades? If so, shower her with positive attention--yep, go ahead and get the "My Kid is on The Honor Roll" bumper sticker; experts agree that a key factor in keeping your kids on the honor roll is acknowledgement.

You can even take it one step further by joining the National Honor Roll, where middle school and high school students are given "the recognition they deserve." For free, your child's name and achievements will appear in the semi-annual National Honor Roll Commemorative Edition.(Something like this does wonders on college apps!) The simple motto at this prestigious organization is that  "positive reinforcement inspires good students to strive even harder and attain even more."

Have you ever had a kid on the Honor Roll?
