  • The Book Drop: A New Twist to The Book Swap

    Funded Nov 20, 2019

    Thanks to your generous donations, the Book Drop book vending machine is making a positive impact on children of all ages at our school. The middle school students are finding a new joy in reading, and the Pre-K students are being introduced to a love of books for the first time.

    Teachers distribute tokens to students to use in the Book Drop to obtain new books. The books are given at no monetary cost to the students, and are theirs to keep for as long they want. How do they receive the tokens? Each teacher decides for their classroom, but some ideas include rewarding improvement in behavior or academics, recognizing various types of achievement, or promoting an interest in reading. The teachers who work with students with behavioral disorders have found the tokens a very successful tool in their behavior modification programs.

    The Book Drop is an exciting addition to our school, and your donation helped to make that happen!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Lohr

  • The Book Swap: Empowering Students One Book at a Time

    Funded Aug 21, 2019

    Words cannot express the impact your generosity will have on the children of West Virginia. For many families in the Mountain State, buying a book is a luxury they cannot afford. Because of you, students across the state will be able to know the joy of book ownership, at no cost to them.

    There was an atmosphere of anticipation in the school, as The Book Drop (the name chosen for the book vending machine) was wheeled down the hallway. Students and teachers stopped to ask how much it would cost to buy a book from the machine. When I told them all they needed was a token, that no money was involved, the children couldn't wait to give The Book Drop a try. I don't think I have ever seen a group of middle school students so excited about getting a book!

    Without your kind donations, The Book Drop would just be an empty box. Thank you for filling our machine with books and our students with joy.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Lohr

    This classroom project was brought to life by Walmart.
The idea for The Book Swap was created by one of my middle school classes four years ago. It is a student-led project which provides an opportunity for classmates to trade "used to them" books for "new to them" books. They can keep any book they choose for as long as they want, or they can trade it for another book. However, for many of my students, owning a book is a luxury. That is why anyone is allowed to take a book, without a trade, on their first visit to The Book Swap. Also, some books offered in trade are inappropriate for middle schoolers or are too damaged to be used. So, we have to supplement our inventory with outside donations and books that I purchase with my own money. The goal of The Book Swap is to provide a book, at no cost, to any student who desires one. We believe that owning a book gives a student a sense of power, and now we want to move beyond our school walls to give more students in West Virginia this opportunity. We are raising the funds to purchase a book vending machine, which we will transport around the state, to offer free books to students in a fun and unique way. The books I have chosen from your source will be used to fill that vending machine and supplement The Book Swap at my school. Your generous donations will help my students attain their goal of reaching fellow students across the state with books.
