Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma will champion life-long learning and create positive experiences associated with reading at the Nation’s peripheral dormitory school. Jones Academy will purchase a monthly book subscription to build the number of available books within the in-home libraries located in the dormitories. The school will also implement a unique reading incentive by purchasing a customizable book vending machine that exchanges a machine-specific coin for a book of the student’s choice to reward good reading habits and build the student’s personal library. These projects are integral for the success of the students to keep them engaged in reading and learning outside of school hours. Students at the dormitory school will develop a sense of self as they build their personal libraries, as well as improve upon skills gained during class time.
