The Summerlin Rotary finances book vending machines for our elementary school students.

Six out of 10 third graders fail to read up to that grade level, and that has profound impacts on their capacity to graduate high school one day.

Your successful bid purchases a machine for a local elementary school.

Students who achieve academically earn a gold coin to insert into the machine and choose a book for their personal library - and to read with their parents at home.

The book vending machine program has motivated students from kindergarten to fifth grade, creating positive peer respect - and the incentive for classmates to place that coin in the machine in front of the entire student population.

Your company or personal name will be permanently placed on the machine and you will be invited to its unveiling so the students can thank you personally.
