Adel Rotary Provides $1,200 for Books at Meadow View School

The Rotary Club of Adel President Bob Grove presented a check for $1,200 to ADM Meadow View Elementary School Principal Jodi Banse at its May 31 meeting to provide books for a new book vending machine.  

The vending machine doesn’t take money, though; students earn coins that allow them to choose a book as a reward for various academic, leadership, and character achievements throughout the year.

“The book vending machine matches the values of Meadow View as it promotes the love of reading!” Says Principal Banse.  

Students are excited about choosing their own books to keep that they have earned. The book vending machine is a fun way to celebrate reading.  

The machine has colored LED lights and talks when the coin is inserted, offering worlds of celebration.

Adel Rotary has long provided funds for literacy programs at ADM Schools and is pleased to support this innovative way to encourage more reading at Meadow View.
