My Project

Our school has recently purchased a Book Vending Machine. Students are able to earn tokens to purchase books by using their PAW Tickets - tickets that are earned by demonstrating our school Code of Conduct- Be respectful, responsible, safe, and prepared.

Our students love being able to choose their favorite books - books they are able to read and keep!

Stocking the book vending machine will help us create a new generation of readers. We are looking to keep the book vending machine stocked with diverse and multicultural books to address the diversity of our student body.
