Students at Lee Avenue Elementary School in Hicksville were excited to recently celebrate the ribbon cutting of their new Book Nook Vending Machine, a wonderful addition to the school designed to promote a love of reading throughout the school community.
This enhancement was made possible through the generous support of the school’s PTA, the Book Nook Vending Machine offers students a fun and engaging way to access new books. The machine is stocked with a variety of age-appropriate titles, allowing students to select books that spark their individual interests.
Throughout the school year, students will be rewarded with special tokens in recognition of their hard work, positive behavior, and academic achievements. These tokens can then be used to “purchase” a book of their choice from the vending machine, creating an exciting incentive that encourages literacy and celebrates student success.
The ribbon cutting ceremony was attended by students, staff, and members of district administration, highlighting the school’s ongoing commitment to fostering a love of reading.
