As part of the literacy initiative at Scott Elementary, staff is focused on helping students build their own at-home libraries and foster a love for reading. Stephanie Sharp, the Media Specialist at Scott Elementary, expressed her enthusiasm in announcing that their grant proposal to the Thomasville Antique Show Foundation has been approved! Thanks to this grant, Scott Elementary has obtained new books and an Inchy Bookworm Vending Machine for the school. Students who meet their individual Accelerated Reading (AR) goals will earn tokens that they can use in the Book Vending Machine, which is stocked with a variety of engaging and diverse books appropriate for different reading levels. This initiative ensures that every student has the opportunity to acquire several new books each school year. To commemorate this exciting new addition, we hosted an official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony this afternoon at Scott. Thank you again to Thomasville Antique Show Foundation, plus Literacy for Thomas County and Thomasville City School officials and Board Members that were in attendance. #bookvendingmachine #readingisfun #readersareleaders #thomasvillecityschools #thomasvillega
