Hi, there!\xA0 We offer small weekly incentives to the kids and then bigger prizes are given away at the end of the summer party.\xA0 In the past, I would put 10-20 bags together with 5-7 things in each bag.\xA0 We had so many finishers, though, we felt bad that only a handful were getting big prizes, so we're spreading the wealth this year.\xA0 Now each winner will get 1-2 things, depending on price, so we can have between 50-100 winners.

Educational Warehouse (?) in Parsippany has a sale twice a year and I often get a lot of things there.

Hope this helps.\xA0 Take care!

Hi Samuel,

In the past we've offered a grand prize raffle at the end of our program...which has
included a basket with candy, book(s) and a gift certificate (example Itunes or
Borders)...We try to tailor it according to the age group and what we think the
winner's reading interests are.

Hope this helps...have a great SRC!
