Dorothy Dodds Elementary received a huge surprise in the main hallway last week! PTAC purchased a book vending machine and President Jenn Johnsrud stocked it with books from a variety of levels and genres.
Our Inchy Book Worm Vending machine only takes special tokens. Students can earn golden tokens for modeling “The Spud Way” outlined in our monthly character traits and Grandfather teachings. April’s focus is on cooperation and humility.
In Feburary our character trait was love and acceptance. Students who displaced these character traits were awarded spuds in action. A few student from each grade level were selected to take part in our ribbon cutting ceremony April 5th.
Dodds Donates April
Do you have new or gently used children's books you aren't using? Donate them to our book drive. We are hoping to collect enough books to have a "Free fair" so all students can bring a new to them book home for summer reading.
