| Books now available in vending machines at SIS |  | Students at SIS who are caught doing an act of kindness or going above and beyond in academics or behavior will now have the chance to earn special coins to purchase books from the school’s brand new book vending machine!
SIS, in partnership with SIS PTO, purchased the book vending machine to encourage reading as part of the state’s reading initiative (RISE) and to reinforce the Sheridan School District’s focus on the Capturing Kids’ Hearts model for school culture, which encourages and facilitates the development of meaningful, productive relationships among students and staff.

At most schools, if you find a vending machine, the most you will be able to get is a tasty or healthy snack. Sheridan Intermediate School offers something a bit more substantial: books.
Recently, the school implemented vending machines that dispense books to students who had earned a coin through special acts.
