Spring Book Refresh

Help me give my students a variety of great new books to restock our Book Vending Machine!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Smith's classroom raised $518

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school is excited to continue building a love of reading through books available to them in our special Book Vending Machine! Students earn tokens for these books through hard work and kind acts and have enjoyed buying new books with their tokens.

We are ready for a "spring refresh" of our book choices and need your help!

Books that we purchase through this project will all be available to students for their personal use - to read at home, on the bus, share with siblings and enjoy during the upcoming summer break.
