Bears Love Books

Help me give my students the key to adventure by rewarding their academic and behavioral success with the gift of reading through a book vending machine!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Renfroe- TG Scott Media Center's classroom raised $8,694

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students are curious and lifelong learners. They come from diverse backgrounds, and they have the desire to learn about the world around them. They are curious about different cultures, perspectives, and ideas, and they approach their learning with an open mind and a willingness to take on new challenges. We believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and we strive to provide them with the tools and resources they need to achieve their goals.

The book vending machine we are requesting is one such tool that will enable us to promote literacy and a love of learning in our students.

By providing easy access to age-appropriate books, we hope to inspire our students to read more and develop a lifelong love of reading. We also believe that the book vending machine will be a valuable asset in promoting positive behavior in our school community. Students will be able to earn tokens for demonstrating good behavior, which they can then use to "purchase" a book from the vending machine. This innovative approach to positive reinforcement will encourage our students to demonstrate kindness, respect, and responsibility, creating a culture of learning and respect in our school.

Overall, we are confident that the book vending machine will have a significant impact on our students and our school community. By promoting literacy, rewarding positive behavior, and creating a culture of learning, we believe that we can help our students achieve their full potential and prepare for a successful future. We are grateful for your support in making this project a reality and look forward to the positive impact it will have on our school community.
