My Project

We love our Owls! Every student at our school is positive, helpful and friendly. We have a community that cares about each other and they are all great team players.

Having a book vending machine would be a great way to increase student focus on the importance and value of reading.

Because our school will be merging with another school at the beginning of next year, we thought having a book vending machine full of a diverse range of books would be an exciting way to help create an even more united community that will continue to encourage kids to learn, grow, and accept one another.

Having a book vending machine will be a great way to unite the students as we merge two schools and continue forward with a focus on learning and growing through reading.
