Today I spoke with Mary Ann Fitzgerald's EDIT 6300, Administration of Media Programs class at UGA Gwinnett. This was my first time speaking with media specialists outside of my district about my GA Exemplary Application or my program in general. I was so nervous. I hope I helped them at least a little bit. I tried to tell them about the importance of being a PR person for your program, the application process, crazy middle schoolers, my average day, and the idea of balance; hopefully that's what actually came out of my mouth. I'm a nervous talker, so no telling what I said. :) I guess if I plan to present at a conference I'd better work on this skill.
After that, I stopped by the movie theater to see if they would donate tickets for my Read Poster Contest to promote Teen Read Week. I tend to come up with ideas, implement them, and then decide how I'm going to go about getting the prizes. :) At COMO last week and on the GLMA Blog Holly Frilot told us about her contests for Teen Read Week (month for her) and I decided to "borrow" them all. We had a great time last week AND best of all I got 6 free movie tickets and a FREE $25 gift card for Jittery Joe's (thanks to the sweet little girl whose father owns Jittery Joes and was on my winning HRRB team last year) for the book checkout contest! I can't wait to tell the kids who won on Monday during broadcast.
The movie theater guy asked me to bring over an official request on letterhead and he'd have the tickets for me. So, luckily, my school is right across the street so I went over, plugged in the laptop cart I forgot to plug in yesterday, and cranked out a letter for Beechwood Cinema. While I was at it, I wrote a letter requesting food donations from Kroger for the upcoming Family Literacy Night (recently renamed Reading Rocks Family Night) on November 16th. They usually donate if you give them 30 days notice, we'll see if 24 days will do! :)
