A special thanks to Shanna Leonard of Tyro Elementary for this fun book character contest idea. But, does this only have to apply to elementary or to a book fair? What are some ways that middle and high school could do something similar? In order to promote our upcoming Book Fair (November 14-18), our Media Center sponsored a Book Character Pumpkin Contest. This is our second year holding this competition and our student participation was amazing! We had 50 student pumpkins turned in. (Please see the Flipagram below with all the pumpkin book character entries). The students and staff were the judges this year. Every student and staff member in the school received 2 tickets. After choosing their top 2 favorite pumpkins, they placed a ticket in the cup beside their favorite pumpkin. Winners were chosen after counting the pumpkins tickets. The pumpkin from each grade level with the highest tickets received a $10.00 Book Fair gift certificate. We announced the winners over the intercom. The students were thrilled! This contest was a great way to promote the LOVE of reading and character awareness!

Isn't this fun! We have been doing this for several years in conjunction with our reading night. We had 79 pumpkins this year! Great fun for everyone!. Our students and parents voted on Family Reading Night for their favorites using Classroom Dojo!
