Recently, Port Arthur in Texas has decided to bring in four of Inchy’s Book Vending Machines to improve the literacy and libraries of their students. We all know what that means …Inchy’s Traveling to Texas! As part of the United Way of Mid & South Jefferson County’s Early Literacy Initiative, four new book vending machines have been installed in schools across the town. The goal is to get books not just in children’s hands, but also in their homes. How? Because the kids get to keep the books they select! That’s right, Inchy’s books are FREE to the kids! United Way is also committed to restocking the book machines twice a year. That way, the staff won’t have to worry about the machines running out. There are four schools in Texas that have received these library machines from this initiative. Those schools are Port Arthur’s ISD Washington, Adams, and Houston elementary schools, and Sabine Pass ISD. The original book vending machine is perfect for your school’s PBIS Rewards! PBIS, or Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support, is an initiative that encourages good behavior and can help to develop better students. How does PBIS do it? By recognizing and rewarding acts of kindness and academic achievement. Did you know that over 20,000 schools across 44 states use PBIS rewards? It’s true! The success of the program and its continued adoption speaks for itself.There are ways to obtain the funds to fuel the education of your students, we even have a series of posts about it!
