My Project

Last year our school was lucky enough to be able to purchase a book vending machine. Since then, students are able to turn their good behavior rewards into a token to "purchase a book" from the vending machine. We have an author visit scheduled and are hoping to fill the vending machine with books from Johnathan Stutzman.

Some students may not be able to afford to purchase books, so we are hoping to fill the vending machine with books by the author.

Hopefully we are able to get more of his books into the hands of our students.
