So last year our school librarian and a few other teachers organized a
big shindig to compete for a LARGE chunk of money. Check it out here:

and be sure to VOTE!!! You can vote once a day PER email address...
The Follet Challenge awards $200,000 to participating schools. I think the grand prize is something like $60,000- I can't tell you what we could do in our library with that money- considering I think she gets a lot less than a grand a year.

The project involved every single student in the building. Our ESL (English as a Second Language) Teacher and students were studying the book Treasure Island. They involved the entire school in research about various islands, the foods classes cooked a "pirate" themed meal complete with hard tack, the woods classes build treasure chests, my classes built Rain Gutter Regatta's , and everyone had a grand old time. Check out the video, and help us out by VOTING! Every day, every email you've got!
