[LM_NET] Reward ideas for big reads

Good Morning, All,

I'm spnsoring a contest this year called "Read a Million."  We are fortunate 
to have AR Enterprise which tracks the number of words read by students.  I have 3 
leading contenders - with 400,000 - 600,000 + words read already.  I want to do 
something really big for these kids, but I have no idea what.  My community is 
pretty supportive - but the first thing they will ask me is what I have in mind.  I 
also have a bit of a budget I can use to supplement this.  Right now, I just need 
ideas.  I want to make it big and really special - something that will encourage 
future years to compete.  However, I need it to stay affordable incase I have 20 
winners next year.  So, I want to set the rewards high, but not too high.  Make 
sense?  Help me with ideas!  By the way - it looks like the winners will be 3, 
3-4th grade girls.

Thanks,
hg
