  • Read! Learn! Build! Our Students Love Minecraft Books!

    Funded Dec 30, 2021

    Thank you so much for funding our project, "Read! Learn! Build! Our Students Love Minecraft Books!" Our students were over the moon to see all the new Minecraft-themed selections that are now available in our Inchy book vending machine, thanks to your generosity.

    It has been so heartwarming to hear the excited conversations between students as they anticipate getting a chance to select one of our new books, and the "oohs" and "aahs" as they open up their books for the first time, and share the contents with their friends. They are all the more excited because the Minecraft storylines in these new books tie in to projects that they work on in our Innovation Lab. Those sorts of experiences for our students are exactly what we had in mind when we started the "Inchy Project" and it's been incredibly gratifying watching them come to life!

    Thank you again for your commitment to children's literacy!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. West-Simon

  • Open a World of Fantasy Reading With Books About Dragons!

    Thank you so much for funding our project, "Open a World of Fantasy Reading With Books About Dragons!" Our students were over the moon to see all the new dragon-themed selections that are now available in our Inchy book vending machine, thanks to your generosity.

This past year, our school was lucky enough to become the owners of a very special resource: a book vending machine called Inchy. Inchy has been such an exciting addition to our campus, as students have had the opportunity to earn tokens to redeem for a book from Inchy for following our school's 3 Rs: being Ready, Respectful, and Responsible. The wonderful thing about Inchy is that the children have been so motivated to earn tokens, and their behavior has reflected this, but it also means we need to restock Inchy with new titles frequently! We'd love to be able to stock Inchy with a great new selection of high-interest books, requested by our students, to help keep them enthusiastic about reading AND positive behavior! I love hearing the meaningful conversations the kids are having about their book choices. Books like the Owl Diaries, Unicorn Diaries, and other similar series are very popular with the students, and help them make the transition from picture books to chapter books. Books like these will help keep our students engaged and excited about reading!
