Our Book Nook Vending Machine

Help me give my students a book vending machine for access to books of various genres and in different languages.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cutter's classroom raised $12,043

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students come from diverse backgrounds where more than 38 different languages are spoken. We will use the Book Nook Vending Machine filled with books to spark an interest in reading. Education is changing every single day, as are the interests of our students. We plan to implement the vending machine as a part of our school's PBIS initiatives.

Beginning readers need pictures and visuals to make reading less intimidating than a typical book.

Every student will have the opportunity to get books from the vending machine through the various programs we have in place. We want to bring innovation and excitement to reading. Helping students experience reading in a unique way is the perfect way to build better readers.
