We have had several students already earn tokens to use to get a book to take home! Students can earn tokens by being a leader, exhibiting positive behavior, or making academic progress. Thank you, Excellence in Education Foundation, for helping fund our vending machine. #readersareleaders #marktwain #twaincusd1 #bookvendingmachine #inchysbookwormvendingmachine
