The Nest: Our Book Vending Machine
Friday, September 16, our Elementary School had a ribbon cutting ceremony, for “The Nest” which is a vending machine that will dispense a book of choice! This "vending machine" is now located in our AES Cardinal Cafe! It will not accept money, only tokens that are given out by staff members, to our students, for demonstrating AES C.A.R.E.S. values and academic growth.
Thank you to the Annandale Lion's Club, for donating "The Nest" and to our other donors the Friends of the Library, our anonymous donor, and the Annandale PTO for supporting reading literacy for all our students.
Our goal is to get books into as many students' hands as possible. With that being said, we need to start small and build our way up. We will re-evaluate midyear to assess the progress of our goals. The more tokens we can get to our teachers, the better! Once our book balance grows, we'll incorporate more ways for students to receive tokens.
Have questions or want to make a donation?
