MASON CITY ROOSEVELT!!

The New #1 Ranked School!!

How did they do that you ask......Awesome Kids and an assembly with me and the teachers playing "Minute to Win It" 

I love going to schools to read and hang out with the kids. Pretty much every school I have a blast with the kids. Some schools go the extra mile and the kids always ask me, "Is this the best school you've visited?"

So I decided to put together my Top School visits. Here is what I based my decision on....

- Students excitement - Welcome signs or posters - Respectful Students during talks - Organization - Speaking environment - Contests to spend time with me (lunch, recess, etc) - Teachers promotion of my visit to the kids - Number of book orders - Desire of autographs - Good questions - Local Newspaper comes - Thank you letters - Number of Cyclone Fans!

Basically, when the kids are fired up, it makes it fun for both me and them. It helps when the teachers show the book to the kids and promote my visit.

My next book will be out later this year. I will be happy to come back to your school if you want the chance to move up the rankings!!!
