POWER points At Glenwood, we value our time together! When it is necessary to gain your attention, a staff member may say: “Show me your Gator POWER in 3..2..1.”
POWER points As soon as it is quiet, the student group (class, grade level - at lunch, or school - at assembly) will earn points equal to the number we are on (3, 2, or 1).
POWER points Once a student group reaches 100 points, the group will earn a special privilege or surprise!
