Gotcha Bracelets

Brady and his collection of 12 gotcha bracelets

There are so many reasons why I love Glenpool schools. One of the reasons is that they have so many creative behavior reward programs. For the last 9 weeks of school, the elementary grades are participating in the "Gotcha" program. When a child is caught doing something good, teachers and other school staff give them a gotcha bracelet. They can then redeem the gotcha bracelets for prizes. Some of the kids, like Brady, are saving their bracelets. Others, like Grant, are cashing them in. Yesterday Grant turned in 4 gotchas and got a pass to wear slippers to school today. He has also redeemed his for a "no homework" pass. I think it's great that our school is focusing on rewarding positive behavior instead of just punishing bad behavior.
