Here are the students that were the first to try out the new book vending machine from Partnership for Children at Merritt Elementary. They were the "lucky number" of the day and each picked out their favorite book from the choices available.
Merritt is going to be using the book vending machine as a PBIS reward where students can earn a special token and select a book to take home. Thank you to Partnership for Children for this awesome addition to our elementary buildings!
