interest in Homeroom and Announcements. Remember, if you give things out that
can be done in advance, staff and students will do better.
Award points for each contest and post the results in a main area of the school
in the same manner that sports results are done. Give a Homeroom prize away at
the end of the season.
***Always send out an attractive answer page reflective of the event, eg.
