E. E. Emerson Elementary installs unique vending machine

When most people hear the words vending machine, many images pop into our heads. Images of our favorite candy bars, crunchy chips, gum, a refreshing soda, and even sandwiches. E. E. Emerson has installed their own vending machine. Mrs. Debra Johnson, Principal and Director of the IAL-Innovative Approaches to Literacy Program grant, purchased a very special and unique vending machine that has found its home just right outside the door of the library. This is a book vending machine. This vending machine isn’t accessed by just anyone. This vending machine is accessed by those students who have been rewarded with a golden coin. To earn the golden coin, a student must receive one from a teacher for demonstrating good citizenship, good behavior, or whatever action the teacher wants to reward. Students are so excited to have the opportunity to use the vending machine.
