Students have to show ROARS (Respect, Ownership, Responsibility, Attitude & Safety) 80% of their day in order to earn the game room. Toward the end of the day, students complete an Exit Ticket where they reflect on their day. This self- reflection helps them to understand why they did, or did not, earn the Fun Factory incentive. \r\nWhile in the game room, students have the opportunity to engage in friendly competition; an under-developed skill in our student population.
