We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our school—a book vending machine! A huge thank you to our amazing Booster Club for their generosity in making this possible.
This innovative machine is more than just a fun way to get books; it's a tool to inspire a lifelong love of reading among our students. Each child will have the opportunity to receive tokens that can be used to "purchase" a book of their choice to keep forever!
By giving our students access to free books, we're not just encouraging reading—we're helping build literacy skills and empowering them to explore new worlds through stories.
Thank you again to the Booster Club for your donation and your unwavering dedication to our students' success.
Good luck to the cast and crew of the One-Act Play as they compete in the 4A Sub-Section Competition tomorrow!
