For April, I went with the Poem in Your Pocket theme. The bulletin board had old jeans pockets that were filled with poems from the Poem in Your Pocket website. There was a sign encouraging students to help themselves to a poem and another that told about carrying a poem around in your pocket all month and then sharing it with someone on April 30. Students actually took poems and I had to refill pockets. The board also had covers of poetry books available through NetLibrary. We had a poetry contest, which was my best contest to date as I received 24 submissions.

Love the idea! We just put up paper pockets on April 30 with Poems in them. A few were taken. It would have been better doing it for a longer time though.
