news release
Building on the success of its popular STEAM vending machine, Christ Church Academy (CCA) will unveil a new book vending machine during a special ribbon-cutting ceremony on November 17, 2026.
CCA’s existing STEAM vending machine has generated enthusiasm among students by rewarding positive character and behavior with educational STEAM kits. Encouraged by the success of this incentive program, the Academy is expanding the concept to promote literacy and foster a lifelong love of reading.
Throughout the school year, students earn ClassDojo points when teachers and staff recognize them demonstrating the Fruit of the Spirit, showing strong character, and making positive contributions to their school community. On the first Friday of each month, students can redeem those points for books from the new vending machine.
Like the STEAM kits, the books are theirs to keep, giving students an opportunity to build personal libraries at home. The machine will feature a selection of picture books, chapter books, and informational titles appropriate for students from Preschool through the school’s planned expansion to 8th Grade.
As a STEAM-focused Christian school, CCA integrates literacy throughout its educational program. The school also partners with The Learning Alliance and participates in community literacy initiatives, including the ABCs of IRC through the Moonshot Community Action Network.
