Get the book in the hands of students and as many community members as
possible. The more people students see reading the book, the more
interested they become.
- Multiple copies were made available for community members to check out or
purchase at the local libraries.
- Each middle school student was given his or her own copy of the book
(purchased with grant monies).

Get the word out so people know what is planned and that they're invited to
be a part of it.
- Notices and information in the three local newspapers
- Explanation in the school newsletter
- Signboards in the community
- Radio Spots--Students read passages on local radio
- Author interview on local PBS station, SKTY
- Cans decorated with flames placed at local businesses and filled with
brochures about the activities planned
