EVART â For nearly two weeks, students at Evart Elementary School have been wondering what was underneath a tarp inside the school.
Anticipation switched to excitement Monday. Underneath the tarp were two Inchyâs Bookworm Vending Machines. The machines will hopefully be the catalyst for achievement, attendance, leadership and, of course, reading, according to Evart Elementary Principal Ed Dickenson. We started talking about the idea in October. I saw (the book vending machine) through ads on Facebook and I talked with the company, but we needed to secure funding, Dickenson said. We did that by December.
Dickenson said the school secured a literacy grant and received a local donation to purchase the two vending machines. The order was placed in December and the machines were delivered a few weeks ago. Due to COVID-19 quarantine issues for various classes, Dickenson said the reveal was delayed until the students returned.
