Readers Are Leaders - Refill Our Machine

Help me give my students new texts to refill their book vending machine!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mann's classroom raised $608

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our campus has been providing books from our vending machine as a student behavior incentive this school year. Our goal is to provide new books for students to keep in their personal collections.

We want every student to realize that being a reader, helps them become a leader.

To that end, we are committed to finding ways to provide books our students would want to read in our vending machine. When they walk by each day on the way to the cafeteria, they can see the new titles and hopefully work to become a better student to earn the right to purchase their own book from the machine. Our teachers give gold coins for the vending machine based on behavior, academics, and growth in goals. We cannot wait to fill our machine with these new fun titles!
