Well, for over two weeks, more than 800 curious students couldn’t help but speculate. Third-grader Joey Cusson even thought it might be some Squish-Mallows for their library class. The suspense was intense!

The Big Pep Rally Reveal

So, the day finally arrived and Central Columbia Elementary hosted an epic pep rally. After a whirlwind of fun that lasted around 20 minutes, the moment everyone was waiting for arrived. It was Inchy’s Bookworm Vending Machine!

The Sweet Surprise

Well, students had mixed reactions. First-grader Blaise Liddick said, “At first, I thought it was snacks, and then when they got up closer, I saw it was like books, so I was kind of bummed at first, but now when I look at it, it’s cool.”

Well Blaise, we think books are areal treat!

The Lucky First Reader

In a thrilling twist, a lucky student had their name drawn out of a hat. Blaise Liddick got the privilege of being the very first student to use the book vending machine. “I am really excited that I got to get the first book. Because there was never a vending machine of books. I have never seen one,” she exclaimed.

Spending Soar Bucks for a Good Read

So, how does it work? How can students get a chance to use this book vending machine? Well, students earn it. Central Columbia Elementary uses a unique currency called Soar Bucks, which they can earn by being awesome students and following the rules. With 20 Soar Bucks, they can grab a book of their choice from the machine. Joey Cusson is already planning to show off his new treasure to his mom.
