What will be done with my students

Students earn Vending Tokens for showing positive behaviors and reaching specified goals.
After earning a token they can go to the vending machine and select a book. I am requesting a variety of books for all ages to ensure that there is always something in the machine to appeal to any one of our students.
 

 

Benefits to my students

Reading should be fun not a chore or an assignment. Students work hard to earn the tokens and are so excited to "buy" a book from the machine. It has been a huge motivator!
Many of our students come from homes where English is a second language. Books printed in English can be scarce. This program helps us to help our students build a home library with books that they can read and share with their family. 

 

Budget Narrative

This money will stock the machine with approximately 100 books.
