My Project

Our students are so excited to have Book Vending Machine. They earn incentive tokens for their good academics, positive attitude, outstanding behavior, and being great school citizens. We are excited to fill this vending machine with books that the students will love and enjoy!

What better reward than a book to help instill a love of reading.

Your donation will help us fill the vending machine with books our students will love! The students will be able to choose their book and watch the magic of a vending machine put the book right in their hands! They will get to learn fun and interesting facts about things they never knew about.
