Feel free to mix, match, and modify. If you come up with something new, let us know and we'll add it to the list.

Spirit Fridays to Increase School Spirit
Ways it works in our school: Every Friday there is a drwing held at our school for a prize(we chose movie tickets). the persons name who is called wins if two tickets if he or she is wearing spirit wear(shirt, colors, etc..) the people drawn consists of one student and one staff member. the winners name is announced via intercom and the teacher telephones the main office to tell them if there is a winner, the staff member calls to verify also. if there is no winner, we draw one more name, if again we come up with no winner we double the prize to 4 tickets and wait till next week. your prize doesnt have to be movie tickets, anything that a staaf member or student would enjoy would work.

Pitfalls: the only thing that is neede to watch out for is that everyone hears the announcement, because our intercom can tend to be quite or there is excessive chatter in some classes. (School Phone: 488-1100 (ask for Mrs. Lugar)

Senior Dinner
The Senior Dinner is a dinner for the senior class held at a nearby restaurant. We picked Big Daddy's Greek Cuisine because it has a separate room for parties that would accomodate the amount of people involved. We hire a DJ so that people can dance and we also have buffet-style food. The cost to enter is 15 dollars per person, just enough to cover all the costs of the event, since profit is not the intent of the event.

When: Any time during the school year, preferably at the beginning of the second semester so that the event does not conflict/compete with any end-of-the-year senior activities. We picked March 12, which is a school night. School nights are best for the activity because they do not conflict with weekend activities. We will hold the event from 7pm to 11 pm.

• Why: To encourage class camaraderie and enthusiasm; class bonding.
  
• How: Call the restaurant 3 months in advance to reserve a date.
  • Hire a DJ for the night 2 months in advance.
    
  • Visit the restaurant to speak with the manager and discuss your plans: where the DJ will go, what the food will be, etc.
    
  • Start adverstising for the event!
    
• Evaluation: Last year the Senior class ended up with 80 people attending the event, about 1/3 of their class. Since the event received rave reviews last year, we hope to have half of our class attend.

International Day: Bring Your Own Banana
The theme for this year's Fall Fest at my school was International Celebrations. (ie. Chinese New Year, Greece Olympics, Germany's Oktober Fest, etc.) In celebration of the Carribean Reggae Fest we spread the word to the student body to bring their own bananas. With the help of donated ice cream we made everyone who brought a banana their own banana split topped with chocolate sauce and sprinkles. It was a great success!
