Thank you to our amazing community who values reading as much as we do at South Elementary! Purchasing the book vending machine would not have been possible without their generosity. We had a ribbon cutting ceremony on June 16 and cannot wait for all of our students to see it when they return for the 2021-2022 school year! Top readers in the school were invited to select new books from the machine.
