Thanks to Ms. Messina, I do everyday! They are given to all attendees the of the Illinois Reading Conference held in March every year. Now, I know I'm biased (being an IRC board member) but this conference is FANTASTIC!!!! Three fun reading filled days of conference for the same cost of most one day workshops!
Every year, the Illinois Council for Affective Reading Education (ICARE) and the Illinois Reading Council (IRC) hold a contest for the static sticker. Fourth through sixth graders from the state of Illinois are invited to participate, and create a sticker encouraging students to read. The winner and their family are invited to the IRC Conference Author Luncheon, receive an autographed book by a well-known children's author and 30 static stick decals for their classmates. I've personally seen past winners chatting through their lunch with Patricia Polacco, Jan Brett, and receive quite an education from Gary Paulsen.
Then throughout the year other great submissions to the contest are used as cover art for the IRC Journal!!!
So Take a minute and let your students' creativity fly!!!!!
