Book Vending Machine Re-stock 2025

My Project

Thanks to amazing donors our school has a book vending machine that is used by our student body. They absolutely love they can earn tokens and bring a book of their choosing home.

The vending machine helps spread literacy across our school and is loved by all students.

There are certain very popular titles that kids love to see in our vending machine and are perfect for middle schoolers. We couldn't offer this without the help of our wonderful donors. The kids get to keep these books to read over and over again. If they choose not to keep them, we have a lending library as well and others can benefit from it. The bubble gum machine and little toys are for my classroom store. They can use their Fitzhugh bucks to get little trinkets out of the machine. Kids like the little plastic items, stickers, and little trinkets. It helps with our overall classroom experience.
