NFL Scouting Combine 2012: Jason Garrett Breaks Down Draft Strategy at Cowboys Presser
During the Dallas Cowboys' media session at the 2012 NFL Draft Combine, third-year coach Jason Garrett was full of praise for his rookie running back out of Oklahoma, Demarco Murray. Murray, 24, saw action in 13 games during his rookie campaign, succumbing to an ankle injury late in 2011. He gave much-needed offense to a team already desimated at the running back spot, averaging 5.7 yards-per-carry. Murray's breakout game came in week 6, as he ran for 253 yards against the St. Louis Rams. Garrett explains that the draft is ideally for selecting the best players available on the board and that the team will plug holes during free agency. The media also peppered Garrett with questions about Jason Hatcher's controversial remarks, insinuating that the Cowboys lacked leadership last season. Stay locked into NFLDraft365's continuing coverage of the Combine from Indy to find out how Garrett responded and get all the latest from the nation's heartland. -------- Remember to Subscribe! goo.gl Follow NFL Draft 365 on Twitter - www.twitter.com Like NFL Draft 365 on Facebook - www.facebook.com

How Much Water Should Children Drink Each Day?
The standard recommendation of water intake for children is at least 6-8 glasses (1.5 - 2 liters) a day, drunk regularly throughout the day (at least 3-4 glasses while at school) ensuring that plenty of additional fluid is drunk during warm weather and/or when exercising. "When exercising" means before, during and after exercise and is not restricted to formal PE and games lessons, but is also applicable to active play (e.g. football in the playground or periods of running around).
The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, Washington DC (2004), includes a separate category for teenage boys aged 14 over who require a higher average fluid intake of 2.6 liters (about 11 large glasses).
Pupils spend at least half their waking hours in school. During this time, they should be drinking at least half their daily requirement, spread regularly throughout the day. Readily available Water Coolers strategically placed around school premises can help to achieve these aims.
What is dehydration?
Dehydration is simply not having enough water in your body. It may result from inadequate water intake and/or from losing body water and can develop rapidly or slowly.
How can you tell if children are dehydrated?
A lot of people don't even realize they are dehydrated because they have become so used to feeling below their best.
Symptoms of mild dehydration can be difficult for teachers to spot. In class some children may become irritable, tired and less able to concentrate. By the time they get home many children are complaining of tiredness or headaches and some may be too lethargic to do anything but slump in front of the television. Although we may think of this behaviour as normal, it is now known that it may, at least in part, be due to the effects of dehydration.
Children can be taught to recognize when their fluid intake is too low as the urine becomes concentrated (small amounts of deep yellow, cloudy, smelly urine). If their urine's no darker than the color of pale straw, odorless and copious they're doing OK.
What effect does dehydration have on the brain?
Water makes up about 80% of the brain and is an essential element in neurological transmissions. Poor hydration adversely affects a child's mental performance and learning ability. Symptoms of mild dehydration may include tiredness, headaches and a feeling not unlike jet lag, as well as reduced alertness and ability to concentrate. Mental performance including memory, attention and concentration can decrease by about 10 per cent, once thirst is felt. Mental performance deteriorates progressively as the degree of dehydration increases.
Thirst is usually felt when dehydration results in 0.8 - 2 per cent loss of body weight lost due to water loss. For a 10-year-old child weighing 30kg this is equivalent to one or two very large glasses of water (300ml each), which is the amount a child could lose during a PE lesson or running around in the playground. Water consumption also has an immediate alerting and revitalizing effect. In schools taking part in the Food in Schools water provision pilot project, the consensus from teachers was that "enhanced provision contributed to a more settled and productive learning environment, as well as helping to instil good habits". The key to boosting the capacity to learn is to keep well hydrated throughout each day (ideally from a personal water bottle within arm's reach).
What are the effects of dehydration on children?
The early effects of even mild dehydration are significant for health, well being, performance and learning - and in the long term carry a higher risk of a number of health problems and disease states. These include constipation, continence problems, kidney and urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and some cancers. In some scientific studies, a decrease in cancer risk was specifically associated with water, as opposed to any other fluids.
Encouraging pupils to drink water during exams, but not during normal lessons the rest of the year?
We have heard many reports of this happening in schools. While we normally welcome initiatives to promote drinking water during the school day, doing so for just one or two weeks seems to imply that the school doesn't have concerns for the health and well being of the pupils in their care during the rest of the long school year, which, we hope, would not be the case in any school. Drinking water regularly throughout the school day makes healthier pupils who in turn make better learners. Exam results are not determined by performance on the day alone.
Children need to be adequately hydrated during all school lessons in order to maximise their learning potential. By the time a child feels thirsty, their mental performance may have deteriorated by 10% - attention, concentration and memory are all adversely affected. Furthermore, it normally takes a few weeks for bladders to adjust to an increased water intake so introducing increased water consumption at the start of exams is not very helpful! There are definite benefits to encouraging pupils to drink water during exams, not only improving performance but also helping to cool them down and reduce stress levels, but pupils should be drinking water regularly during the school day throughout the rest of the year too.

13 Ideas to Make More Money at Your School Carnival
A school carnival is one of the best ways to raise money and build community spirit for your school. So many schools have yearly carnivals that it is easy to fall into a familiar pattern of repetition each year. The following suggestions are meant to help you shake your event up a little and to start thinking of new ways to increase your profits.
BUILD YOUR CARNIVAL AROUND A REALLY GOOD THEME
By selecting a different theme for your carnival each year, it both keeps your families interested and engaged, and also it forces your planning committee to develop new ideas for games, events, costumes, food choices, etc. The selection of a theme is the foundation for the rest of your carnival planning. It is vital to keep your auction from becoming predictable each year.
KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE
It is important to know what kind of people will be attending your carnival. This demographic knowledge will help you in deciding what kind of a theme to choose and what kind of activities will make you the most money. Basically, make sure you are giving your audience what they want. If karaoke is popular, give them a karaoke booth. If a football throwing competition would be popular, give them that. If you think silly string would be a big seller, have plenty of that on hand and mark it up.
THINK LIKE A GUERILLA (MARKETER)
The key to making a lot of money at your carnival is to have lots of people there. Make sure you have an excellent team in charge of getting the word out. First, utilize every method of free publicity: press release, road-side banners, lots of fliers in shops over town, church bulletins, etc. Also let your school families know how important attendance is and that their efforts in bringing others to the event is encouraged and appreciated. After you have exhausted these low or no cost means of advertising, perhaps you can consider a well-placed paid advertisement in the local paper or radio station. Only do this if you've had success in the past and can afford it. There are so many means of cheap marketing.
SECURITY AT DOORS = PARENTS FEEL SAFE
Once parents have arrived, they want to make sure their kids are safe to run around. This sense of security will go a long way toward making mom and dad comfortable and willing to spend more money. I know that if I'm constantly worried about where my kids are and what they are breaking, I'll be looking at the clock and planning my exit strategy. I'm not going to drop a lot of dough. Make sure to have volunteers specifically assigned to the front doors to make sure no one escapes. I would also station a male and female adult by the bathrooms to make sure no trouble happens there. Try to imagine any place there could be trouble in your physical space and solve the problem before it happens.
SEEK A WIDE VARIETY OF DONATIONS
One way to make money is to not spend it in the first place. Therefore, do everything in your power to get food and supplies donated. This process should happen very early in your planning. Seek out natural connections within your school community. Who knows, one of your sudent's dad might own a company that rents out iNFLatable bounce houses and would be willing to rent them to you for free. You won't know until you check. Make sure to give out a lot of recognition (both verbally and through prominent signage) to all those who helped, and make sure that a committee takes responsibility for sending out thank you letters to every single person or business that helped you during the carnival.
CHARGE FOR VENDOR BOOTHS
In addition to the rides, games, and scheduled entertainment at the carnival, there is an opportunity to provide parents and kids with another great experience: vendor booths. You can sell booth space ( can be as simple as 8' folding tables) to local business who want to market to your specific audience. You can also require the vendors provide some kind of freebie or activity to whoever visits their booth. Pencils, Frisbees, coloring books, etc- and they can put their logo on everything they give away. They can pass out coupons as well. This is a great marketing opportunity for the business and it adds to the overall excitement of the event. If you get enough vendors, you can also make some decent money off of it. If you charge $100 per booth and get 12 booths, you just made $1,200 pure profit. And, $100 for such a great marketing opportunity is not out of reach for many local businesses. I have even heard of carnivals with booths set up for health and wellness information, including free flu shots, blood pressure screenings, for example. You can give price breaks on booths to non-profit groups, if you wish. The more booths = more excitement.
SELL TICKETS FOR EVERYTHING- KEEPS CASH AT A MINIMUM
Take a cue from most arcades out there today, convert cash into tokens or tickets whenever possible. This accomplishes two important purposes. 1) It prevents individual booths from having to handle and secure cash. With all the excitement and activity, why take a risk on cash being lost, stolen, or mishandled in any way? 2) People are much more likely to spend tokens or tickets freely than real cash money. It's a psychological thing.
TAKE PLASTIC
Even though you may lose a few percentage points for the transaction, I recommend setting your carnival up to accept debit and credit cards for tickets and maybe some of the higher price add-ons you have. This way you avoid the situation of a parent running out of cash, even though they still want to make that last minute purchase. Don't lose that sale!
PLAN SOMETHNG FOR EVERYBODY
In your planning, make sure that you include activities for everyone. For instance, you may get lots of younger siblings. It would be wise in this instance to set aside a safe area for them to crawl and play without having big kids risk accidentally hurting them. A few gym mats, some baby toys, a fence of some kind, and chairs for parents could be all that you need. Even if you offer this toddlers' area for free, you are doing a service for parents who won't have to spend money on babysitters or feel rushed to leave, due to their younger children. On the other hand, it would also be wise to provide lots of seating areas and coffee (decaf) for grandmas and grandpas. Make sure that nobody feels uncomfortable or un-catered to. The more people through your door, the more ticket revenue you pick up.
BOOK A GREAT EMCEE
I am a strong believer in designating someone to serve as the overall host or emcee for the event. Give this guy or gal a wireless mic and let him or her use charm, humor, prodding, and enthusiasm to get people having a great time and spending money. Don't settle for a bland voice telling people the talent show starts in five minutes. Get a person who will have the natural ability to hype it up. The emcee can also call attention to booths that aren't doing well and need attention. Just make sure that the emcee doesn't cross the line into being obnoxious. This can be a tall order, but if you get the right person, it can make a world of different to your event.
FOOD, FOOD, FOOD
Basically, forget everything else I've written. It's really just all about the food. People love to eat and they'll spend money to do it. Offer as many choices and styles as you can think of. If people like to eat it and it's convenient to mass produce and serve, do it! I really don't think you can over-do it on the food.
This is an opportunity to really hype up a specific item. For instance, this could be the only time all year that third grade teacher Mrs. Riley makes her world-famous elephant ears. Your school carnival is the only place on Earth to get them. "Tell your friends and family! Don't miss this once a year chance!"
(Remember to get as much of the food donated as you can, because it would then be 100% profit!)
OFFER LOTS OF PLACES TO SPEND MONEY
Besides selling tickets for games and food, think about ways you can sell additional items. I know of carnivals who have successfully sold student designed t-shirts, school community recipe/cookbooks, family photos, and raffle tickets, to name a few. Also, look at the Oriental Trading Company Catalog for very inexpensive items that kids love to have. Silly string for instance is a great seller. You can even set up a little store for any of the above mentioned items. Don't miss any opportunity to get people to spend their hard-earned dollars for your school.
LEVERAGE THE "CELEBRITY" OF TEACHERS, PRINCIPAL
Kids are always amazed to see their teachers in any situation out of the classroom. I remember thinking that my elementary school teachers actually lived at school. They couldn't possibly have a life in the "real world". To run into one of them at the grocery store was like running into a movie star or the President of the United States. You will be sure to have a hit activity anytime you can put a teacher in a funny situation. Think dunk tank or pie throwing, etc. Maybe the principal could get his head shaved if a certain level of money is raised that night.
Conclusion
The school carnival is a great opportunity for your community to come together, develop relationships, and raise some much needed money for your school. Be as creative as you can in selecting a popular theme and planning activities that will accomplish your fundraising goals. Good luck!

Famous Cheerleaders
Cheerleaders are often the most popular people in high school. It seems to make sense that these people would go onto become some of the most popular people in the world after they have graduated. You might be surprised as you read over our list of some famous people who were at one time cheerleaders.
Being a part of a cheerleading squad helps young people gain self confidence and the ability to perform in front of large crowds of people. Think about the crowded football stadium on a Friday night back in high school. That's a pretty big audience. It makes sense that some very famous television and movie actors and actresses had, at one time in their life, been a cheerleader. Some of these people include Courtney Cox Arquette, Kelly Ripa, Sela Ward, Teri Hatcher, Calista Flockhart, Reese Witherspoon, Jenny McCarthy, Eva Longoria Parker, Denise Richards, Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bullock, Ann Margaret, Halle Berry, Alicia Silverstone, Renee Zellwegger, Other actresses who participated in cheerleading include Sarah Shahi, Blake Lively, Kirstie Alley, Jamie Lynn Spears, Charlene Tilton, Raquel Welch, Vanessa Minnillo, The list of former cheerleaders contains two acclaimed actresses - Meryl Streep and Sally Field, both of whom were high school cheerleaders.
One misconception that some people might have is that men aren't cheerleaders, or the ones that do cheer are something less than manly. That isn't the case either. Many men who would be described as very masculine have been cheerleaders in the past. Was there a more masculine actor than the late Jimmy Stewart? He was a cheerleader at Princeton University. Would anyone describe Samuel L. Jackson as less than manly? He was a cheerleader when he was in high school.
Several very well known and talented comedic actors were former cheerleaders. Jerry Lewis and Steve Martin were both cheerleaders when they were in high school. CBS news anchor Katie Couric, as well as the legendary television producer Aaron Spelling were also cheerleaders.
We've even seen our share of former cheerleaders who have had some success in reality television. Brooke Hogan has her own reality program on Vh1. Several celebrities who have competed on the hit reality television program Dancing With The Stars were also cheerleaders in their youth. Jennie Garth, Stacy Keibler, Shannon Elizabeth, Vivica Fox, Belinda Carlisle, and Melissa Rycroft. Paula Abdul (perhaps one of the most famous cheerleaders of all time) has made a name for herself, both as a musician and a judge on the reality program American Idol. Former American Idol contestant Kellie Pickler was a cheerleader in high school, and American Idol winner Carrie Underwood was a high school cheerleader as well.
Many women who have gone on to find fame as musicians were former cheerleaders. They include Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Faith Hill, Toni Basil, Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera, Natalie Mains, and Lauryn Hill.
Is there any bigger arena than politics, and is there any bigger leader than the President of the United States? Several former presidents were at one time a cheerleader. They include President George W. Bush, President Ronald Reagan, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Other politicians who have participated in the sport of cheerleading include Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, and Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran.
You can't say that if you are a cheerleader you'll go on to fame and fortune, but you might say that being a cheerleader helped some very famous people get to where they are today.

The most important letter in direct mail fundraising never aks for a donation. Thank-you letters increase donor loyalty, strengthen relationships and increase your chances of receiving more gifts in the future, including major gifts and legacy gifts.
But only if you get them right.

Here is a sample donation thank-you letter.

Samantha Yordvick
363 Blandon Crescent
Tulsa, OK 19188
Dear Samantha:
This is just a quick note, but it comes from my heart to yours as I head out the door for my flight to Bombay.
Thank you for your very kind gift of $100, which we received today. Your generosity will make an immediate difference in the lives of mothers in Calcutta. I'm going to make sure of that on this trip.
For one thing, we are going to use your gift to fund our early intervention program. Your generosity is going to help us buy the formula and fortified milk that our mothers give to their babies and toddlers. Good nutrition, as you know, is so vital in fighting off the diseases and infections that are so prevalent in Calcutta.
You can read about this exciting initiative-and your important part in it-in the upcoming issue of our newsletter, which we will mail to you in January.
Thanks again for your kindness,
[real, actual, live signature]
Bill Bladstone
President
CalcuttaConcern
About this letter
Here are a few things to notice about this letter.
Not "Dear Friend." This letter is a personal thank you from the heart of the president to this donor. Even though the president does not know Samantha personally, he writes to her as a friend, which is to say, by name.
The opening sentence reveals the personality of the writer and clearly shows that this letter was written on a particular day, by a particular person, for a particular reason. Openings like this resonate with donors, who want to be acknowledged by a human being and not a computer.
The writer acknowledges the donor's gift by date received and amount given, specific details that make the letter personal instead of generic.
The writer shows in concrete, easy-to-understand ways how the donor's gift will be put to work today, changing lives and making a difference in the world. Donors need to know that their contribution, however small, accomplishes the goals of the donor in supporting your organization.

What In The World Would We Do Without Music?
What in the world would you and I do if there was no such thing as music?
Can you imagine a world without music? No songs, no tunes, no rock, no roll, no jazz, no hymns, no boogie-woogie, no country-western, no symphonies. No singing in the shower. No whistling Dixie.
Lovers wouldn't have songs to romance to. There would be no such thing as "our song." Sinatra couldn't fly to the moon. Elvis couldn't complain about people stepping on his blue suede shoes. Tony Bennett would have to write a letter about how he left his heart in San Francisco. Willie might go on the road again, but without a guitar. And Ray Charles would look pretty strange up on stage without a piano telling us that Georgia is on his mind.
Then when the wedding day arrived, what would the bride march down the isle to? A poem? Silence? Applause? And when the happy couple marched out of the church together, would they do it to the bark of neighborhood dogs, or perhaps all the wedding guests talking at once?
And at the reception, what would they dance to? The Funky Chicken just isn't the same without music. Since rhythm is part of music, no drums would even be allowed.
And the honeymoon I suppose would take place with radio news on, or perhaps the educational channel accompanied by the drone of an air-conditioner.
When baby arrives, do we lull her to sleep with a reading from Shakespeare? Or perhaps random readings from the dictionary or encyclopedia? Could we bore her to sleep with words?
Nursery rhymes would have to be chanted or recited instead of sung. School music programs would of course be non-existent, as would school choirs and orchestras and bands. When the school football team plays, there would be no school fight song. Cheerleaders would have to cheer and dance minus any music.
And when those birthdays roll around, we would have to all recite together in a monotone "happy birthday to you."
And when duty calls, what would soldiers march to? What would take the place of music in parades, since there would be no marching bands? John Philip Sousa would have had to get a day job.
And on the 4th of July there would be no patriotic songs - just speeches. At Christmas time there would be no Christmas carols. No rousing gospel music at Easter, no hymns in church.
And can you imagine radio without music? Nothing but news and talk shows and bla bla bla bla....
I don't know about you, but I've had it up to here just thinking about it. I'm heading for the piano now to celebrate the fact that our Creator gave us the wonderful and inspiring and uplifting gift of music that we all take for granted.
I think I'll play a nursery rhyme or two, then the wedding march, then Silent Night, then Auld Lang Syne, then Fur Elise, then the blues, then a little jazz, then... and then...

Meet the 17 Hottest NFL Wives
The Hottest Wives of NFL Players this year includes a bevy of beautiful and talented women that just happen to be married or engaged to current NFL players.
Last year, Laurie Schaub, an ex-Houston Texans cheerleader and wife of quarterback Matt Schaub, won the initial Football's Hottest Wives competition. Schaub is back again this year to defend her title against the 2011-12 Sweet 17 finalists.
Schaub is one of 3 ex-NFL cheerleaders in the finals that also includes 2 models, 2 pageant winners, 3 actresses, and 3 athletes. Seven of the 17 finalists have husbands that play quarterback. The Patriots, Chargers, and Cowboys are the only teams to have 2 nominees among the Sweet 16.
Here are the Sweet 17 for Football's Hottest Wives, 2011-2012.
Laurie Schaub (Matt Schaub, QB, Houston Texans) - Laurie Schaub is the defending champion. She is an ex-Texans cheerleader and a dance instructor.
Alicia Jammer (Quentin Jammer, CB, San Diego Chargers) - Alicia Jammer finished second in last year's voting. She appeared on the Football Wives show on the E Network and is active in raising money for foster children in the San Diego area.
Julie Dorenbos (Jon Dorenbos, Long Snapper, Philadelphia Eagles) - If you thought only quarterbacks got the hottest girls, think again. Eagles Pro Bowler Jon Dorenbos is married to Julie Dorenbos - one of the early leaders of the competition.
Sasha Dindayal (Antonio Gates, TE, San Diego Chargers) - The Trinidad-born beauty has appeared as a model in several hip-hop videos.
Carrie Prejean (Kyle Boller, QB, Oakland Raiders) - Carrie Prejean was Miss California 2009 and first runner-up for Miss USA. She caused controversy during the pageant by saying that she believed that marriage should be "between a man and a woman" only.
Candice Crawford (Tony Romo, QB, Dallas Cowboys) - Candice Crawford looks a lot like Romo's ex Jessica Simpson. She is a former Miss Missouri and worked as a reporter at KDAF in Dallas. Candice's sister Chace stars on the TV hit Gossip Girl.
Kristin Cavallari (Jay Cutler, QB, Chicago Bears) - Kristin Cavallari is an actress who has appeared on Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and The Hills. She was a contestant on the most recent Dancing with the Stars.
Evelyn Lozada (Chad Ochocinco, WR, New England Patriots) - The Latin beauty is a singer and admits to have a real shoe problem. She is the owner of an upscale shoe store Dulce in Florida. Lozada was formerly engaged to basketball star Antoine Walker.
Amanda Brown (Peyton Hillis, RB, Cleveland Browns) - Amanda Brown and the Browns running back are our freshest newlyweds coming off of a late October wedding in Arkansas.
Betina Driver (Donald Driver, WR, Green Bay Packers) - Betina is a body builder that looks like she could match up one on one with Donald-one of the best wide receivers in the NFL.
Gisele Bundchen (Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots) - Gisele Bundchen is the most famous in the bunch since Kendra Wilkinson is no longer eligible. She is a super model and a Victoria's Secret angel.
Brittany Koehl (Stephen McGee, QB, Dallas Cowboys) - With Brittany's nomination, there are two very deserving wives of Cowboys' quarterbacks in the Sweet 16.
Christy Oglevee (Chris Cooley, TE, Washington Redskins) - Christy Oglevee is an ex-Redskins cheerleader.
Heather Mitts (A.J. Feeley, QB, St. Louis Rams) - Heather Mitts is a two-time Olympic gold medalist in soccer. She was named ESPN's Sexiest female athlete in 2004 and appeared in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in 2005.
Katina Taylor (Jason Taylor, OLB, Miami Dolphins) - Katina Taylor is an ex-gymnast and dance instructor who undoubtedly helped Jason on his Dancing with the Stars appearance. Katina's brother is 8-time Pro Bowl linebacker Zach Thomas who spent most of his career with the Dolphins.
Kim Zolciak (Kroy Bierman, DE, Atlanta Falcons) - Kim Zolciak appeared on the Real Housewives of Atlanta television show.
Sanya Richards (Aaron Moss, CB, New York Giants) - Originally from Jamaica, Sanya Richards was our bronze medalist in the 2010 competition, but was a gold medalist in the 4 x 400 relay at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

School Event Ideas to Create School Spirit
Using events to generate school spirit is a great way to attract involvement from the students, faculty, and parents. There are many ways in which to inspire school spirit. Most events may revolve around the athletics associated with the school, but there are activities such as fundraisers, school gear, and competitions that can be used in place of events.
The most obvious school event to build spirit is a pep rally. This usually involves the cheerleaders and the football team, but it can also be a way for all athletics to participate. Pep rallies during the fall months could include all the fall athletic teams while the same can be done in the spring. One way to get more teams involved is to create competitions such as "land versus water" that pits the football and baseball teams against the swim and water polo teams in a non-sports contest like a trivia quiz about school traditions.
An easy event to plan is a Dress Up Day. Encourage the students to dress in school colors, let them attend class dressed up and painted. Plan a "Twins Day" where students can dress like a friend. Host a creative uniform day that lets students make modifications to their normal uniform with extra points for uniqueness. Let the students vote on the most interesting outfits.
Most schools have a store inside the school in which they sell school related items. This is a prime opportunity for non-event spirit building. Add in a variety of items that feature the school colors or emblem: t-shirts, hoodies, shorts, notebooks, book covers and window decals. For extra fun, have special items just for freshmen, seniors, etc.
Rather than a single event, designate an entire Spirit Week with a lot of activities planned. This can be coordinated with Homecoming Week, where alumni are likely to get involved. Ideas can include having Super Hero Day, Hat or Slipper Day, Flashback Day, etc. Plan a different activity every day leading up to the main event. Spirit Week can include contests between classrooms such as the best decorated door, trivial pursuit games, or which class can rack up the most points for students actually participating in Spirit Week.
Participating in fund raisers, such as Make-A-Wish, can induce a lot of student and faculty participation. Sparking contests between classrooms on who can raise the most money inspires many to empty their banks and pockets. The winning classroom can be treated to lunch at the local pizza shop or for an ice cream treat.
A great way to encourage student involvement is to have organized events such as a girls Powder Puff Football game or student/teacher events. A popular event is a Student Teacher Basketball game. This can include any teacher who wants to participate and any student, whether on the basketball team or not. Have a date and time set up for the students and community to come and enjoy the game.
Involve the principals by encouraging them to be willing to shave their heads or dye their hair a funky color if the students can accomplish a set goal. Make a big deal out of it by doing it at a pep rally for the entire student body to witness.
There are many events that can inspire school spirit. There is nothing better than seeing a stadium filled with one's school colors, that sight alone may entice more kids to participate.
