Showing behavior that represents the school values of R.O.A.R. (Respect, Own your actions, Act safely, Ready to learn), students earn tallies that add up to tickets to a party. The fun has led to students filling up their class “ROAR” boards with great behavior as fast as possible to get back to the glow room for some more fun.
