<div dir="ltr">3 years ago I asked Portillo's if they'd donate chocolate cake coupons and I'm still using them. They probably gave me 1000. I just write the student's name on it and hand it over. If they don't like cake they can get a fruit cup instead. We also do reading incentive prizes at the end of the year. We raffle off prizes to anyone that participated in any reading incentive program throughout the year. Prior to Covid we'd take kids to see a play at Drury Lane. Now we give away a handful of Target gift cards. Last year I was able to purchase a huge chunk of books from First Book (if your school is low income). We gave away books as raffle prizes to 60 kids and kept the rest for the library. We're lucky we have a very supportive PTA. They give us $1000 for reading incentives every year. The only stipulation is that everyone gets a chance or gets the benefits. <br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">Karen Doyle</font><div><font size="2">Library Media Specialist</font></div><div><font size="4">Komarek School</font></div><div>8940 W. 24th St</div><div>North Riverside, IL 60546</div><div>708-447-8030 x 143</div><div><a href="mailto:kdoyle@komarek94.org" target="_blank">kdoyle@komarek94.org</a></div><div><a href="http://www.komarekschool.org" target="_blank">www.komarekschool.org</a></div><div><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1kKZ5nUywWev0rpBsZFBgj4rwKhksBS4C&revid=0B53pUjjKOpl3VUZTRG5RNFBFcktFWitlV2dURTFtaEFPYlhRPQ" width="96" height="29"> <img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=17LB7ohPYDdufxJ1dMfEbU6XWFkRGqa-a&revid=0B53pUjjKOpl3ZjNUcE5hZ3JrU20xQmpSYkVRV0hnNzFrbTRJPQ" width="96" height="96"> <img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1nNuxw0Q-iSFvG9gbYb4M4FsBUrHpBZjf&revid=0B53pUjjKOpl3WlA3NUMvYXBwb1JLZ1JwTGFxNklWK3FJajZrPQ" width="96" height="96"><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Sep 10, 2021 at 7:53 AM Flaherty, Megan via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
