Salazar Elementary introduced their freshly installed book vending machine today, aiming to reinforce positive behavior and ignite a passion for reading in their students! 📚📖
Thanks to funding from the Family Income Index budget, Salazar Elementary acquired this special machine adorned with a custom-designed Salazar Knight's logo. Students earn a rewards coin by receiving a positive behavior referral from a staff member, which they can exchange for a book of their choice from the vending machine. Happy Reading, Knights!
Tomorrow, Early College Opportunities (ECO) HS, Desert Sage Academy and Mandela International Magnet School will hold commencement ceremonies at the Santa Fe Convention Center, 201 W. Marcy St.
If you can't attend in person, consider joining the livestream on our YouTube channel!
