next time we lose let's all remember this

When I was in third grade, our principal made a deal with the school. I may have forgotten all of the details, but we had a reading goal. Every time a student in the school finished reading a book, we got to put a little paper cutout in the hallway. If they spanned the length of every wall in the school (just a single row along the top of the wall that the teachers put up), the principal would sit on the roof all day and read any book we passed up to him. He was a fisherman, so what he did was lower a bucket with his fishing pole and the kids would come up and deposit books. He would read them (or at least parts of them) and send them back down with notes about what he liked, questions for the students about what they thought, etc. It was such a cool thing to witness as a kid. Fun day. I liked that principal a lot.
