Check out our new and amazing book vending machine! It is all stocked and ready for the students to start reaching their goals to earn gold coins for free books. This machine wouldn’t be possible without the sponsorship of Kevin Vidas from NKS Tire. He generously sponsored the entire cost of the machine. Kevin has always been a huge supporter of all of our events and we are fortunate to have him as a community partner. Starting in the first weeks of school students will be able to set goals with their teachers. When a student meets a goal they will get to proudly walk down to our Marine Pride Bell and ring it with honor. Along with ringing the bell, they will be given a gold token to use in the vending machine for anyone item they want. Students will learn how to set goals, work towards them, achieve them, and set new ones. Students will learn to strive for success and never give up. If you are interested in sponsoring any books for this machine you can send a check payable to the Park PTO to Park Elementary School,( 1225 Hockridge Street, Marinette, WI 54143). All books your donation pays for will have a label inside saying who it was sponsored by. We would like to thank Eric’s Auto Body, Beverly Nettleton, and The M&M Community Foundation for sponsoring the books used to fill the machine already. We are so grateful for all of the support we have received from the community and are lucky to have such great partners in education.
