Does anyone have any good gimmicks or promos that we could use?  I'll take
any ideas on any theme.

In the past we have had contests, games, chants, songs, art projects, sack
lunches with prizes, decorations in the library, book mark contests, and
rousing convocations.

I will post a HIT.

Subject: reading gimmicks

Dear LM_NET,

Our school (grades 4-6) needs a great gimmick involving the principal to
get kids to earn Accelerated Reader points.

Last year after Book Week we launched "Reach for Magic - READ!"  When the
entire school had reached 25,000 points our principal performed a magic
show.

As the kids were earning points, for each 1000 points that a grade earned
our principal had his tie cut off in the cafeteria by a child from that
grade.

We made a display of these ties around the office and close to the HUGE
graph that was recording the Read for Magic points.

Our principal would like a different gimmick for this year.

Does anyone have any ideas???

I will post a HIT.
