SCHOOL POST OF THE WEEK: Black Mountain Primary School
 
🐴📚 Exciting News for Our Warponies! 📚🐴

We are thrilled to share that Black Mountain Primary School has received an Inchy Book Vending Machine, made possible by a very generous donor! We are so grateful for this gift—and excited to join other elementary schools across Buncombe County in bringing this opportunity to our students.

Here’s how it works at BMP:
Students who earn Positive Office Referrals for going above and beyond in showing the WARPONY WAY will receive a special token that allows them to choose a book from the vending machine—one they get to keep and enjoy! 🎉📖

This is a wonderful way to:
✨ Reinforce expected behaviors through our PBIS framework
✨ Celebrate students who lead with kindness, responsibility, and effort
✨ Encourage a lifelong love of reading

We are so proud of our Warponies and deeply thankful to our donor for investing in both character and literacy. Onward and Upward, Warponies! 💜📚
