[quote=Anonymous]Here are some ideas.

At the beginning of the year - convey to students and parents what achievements will be celebrated and awarded and what the kid can do to win these awards.  Don't spring prizes on other kids without telling parent and students that there are categories that will be rewarded. Yes, not every kid can get the top prize in academics so school must create categories that other kids can also in.   Categories can be -
- Perfect attendance.  
- Punctuality
- Top 5% for excellent class room conduct. (give examples)
- Most helpful. (give examples)
- Kindest in the class (give examples)
- Most Civic- minded.  (give examples)
- Best idea for school improvement (give examples)
- Making a difference in the community.  (give examples)
- Lunch team
- Patrol 
- Cleaning and recycling team

Finally, do a day of in-school full day cultural art assembly  with eternal vendors producing  the shows.  Or shoe the kids a fun and inspirational movie.

Or  ask the kids to clean their desks and chairs. My teacher used  shaving foam to cover the tops of the desks and students had to scrub it clean. so much fun. =

Or have a field day with fun games for all kids and early release.

Or  call the parents one evening to give them an understanding of resources during summer, report card, and ho their kids did  in the school - and have an  exhibition of their kids paintings in their class rooms. Parents can then buy the paintings for small amount, so they can  fundraise for end of  school  treats or prizes for the kids.
