Introducing Books on the Block: The 405 Book Project! 🐾📚 There’s something pretty special about watching a City Park student walk up to our book vending machine, use their token, choose a brand-new book, and proudly take it home to KEEP. ❤️ Our book vending machine is part of the Dalton Reads initiative across Dalton Public Schools, helping us put books directly into the hands of students and build a community of lifelong readers. At City Park, students can earn a token for the vending machine when they are recognized as a PAWSitive Panther! 🐾 Being a PAWSitive Panther means showing the character, choices, and behaviors that make City Park such a special place to learn and grow. And what better way to celebrate our Panthers than with a new book of their very own? 📖✨ But to keep those books coming, we need to keep our vending machine stocked! That’s why I’m excited to launch… 🏙️📚 BOOKS ON THE BLOCK: THE 405 BOOK PROJECT 📚🏙️ Through our Scholastic ClassroomsCount™ fundraiser, our families, friends, alumni, and community members can help us purchase books specifically for our book vending machine. Every donation = more books. More books = more PAWSitive Panthers celebrated. More books = more City Park kids reading! 💙🐾 Whether you give $5, $10, $25, or simply share this post, you’re helping us make sure that when a PAWSitive Panther earns that special token, there’s a great book waiting for them. 📚 Help us keep the 405 stocked with stories!
