Page 12 Shelton-Mason Journal — Thursday, Feb. 2, 2023 Banks, not candy, frOm school vending machine By Gordon Weeks gordon@masoncounty. com The Parent Teacher Student Organization at Mountain View Elementary School in Shelton last Week surprised the students by unveiling a book vending machine in the school’s lobby. The group spent about $8,000 on the custom- made machine, which features the school’s logo on the side. Students earn tokens, which they can de— posit into machine and make their selection. On Jan. 25, students dressed for Pajama Day as- sembled in the lobby and were asked to guess the concealed gift. The first students to receive books were the top 10 readers from last year. Every child will receive one or two free books each year, said Principal Mary Johnson. Books are avail- able in English and Spanish. Third-grade student Taylor Koehn' selects her book from the school’s new vending machine as li- brarian Candy Ranney, left, and Parent Teacher Student Organization treasurer Mersades Emerson look on.
