[LM_NET] Prize suggestions

[James Mong <jmong@HCCSC.K12.IN.US>]

I thought I could pick your collective brain on this.  I started a small
rewards program last year where students got a ticket for a drawing by
making a reading goal.   There were 10 tickets drawn each 9 weeks.  I
used a Pizza Hut pizza as the first prize and other items like special
bookmarks, posters, & Bentcils for the rest of the prizes.

Here's the question.  What other suggestions can you give me for prizes
that won't wipe out the small Library fund that I have?  I still think I
can only afford about $10( maybe a bit more) for the top prize with all
the others coming in at lesser amounts.  Are there places online that
you know of where I can order these sorts of things or should I start
shopping at the Dollar store? <grin>  I'd like to keep the total dollar
amount under $50 for each of the 9 weeks.
I just wanted another perspective on this.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
