The grand unveiling of a new book vending machine at Rydal Elementary School served as a big surprise today for students in grades 1 and 2! The goal is for the vending machine to encourage reading and allow the students to share their love of books with one another. Students who receive “Bee Bucks” for being respectful, responsible, kind and an upstander will be able to cash 10 Bee Bucks in for a vending machine token. The school’s PTO raised enough money last year to purchase the book vending machine through hosting a danceathon. #ASDProud #FeelGoodFriday
