We also provide giveaways for students with good attendance such as books,
notebooks, MEES pins, MEES folders, Spanish/English dictionaries, etc.  We
really like the family literacy dollars idea and will probably use this for
Christmas gift shop.
This year we also plan to give field trip tickets to sudents with good
attendance because our bus only seats 25 and its usually on first come first
serve basis in the past.
