[LM_NET] SHARE/TAR: First Student Contest--Help!

[Erin Lindsey <ragamuffin78@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Dear LM_Netters,

Accelerated Reader got a late start in our building this year, due to 
renovations in the computer lab and the library. We didn't begin until the 
2nd quarter.  To kick off the restart of the program, I decided to do 
something I have never done before--I am having a contest for students.  
When I went to BookExpo in May, I picked up a bunch of free manga, and when 
I went to ALA, I got some more.  A lot of my middle school students, 
especially, love manga, but it isn't really practical for me to buy it for 
the library for various reasons.  So I decided to use them as giveaways in 
the contest.  The way I'm doing it is this: every time a student passes an 
AR test, his or her name will be entered (if they have expressed interest).  
This will go until the end of December, and when I return in January, I will 
pick 8 winners to choose a free manga from what I have available. What I 
can't decide is, how to keep track of the names. Should I just make a list 
of everyone who has expressed interest, and then  check how many AR tests 
they've passed at the end of the month, or would it be more effective to 
have a physical bucket or something that names can be put in?  This is my 
first time doing anything like this, and I really want it to go well.

Thanks,
