Robert F Woodall Elementary Introduces Library Book Vending
Robert F. Woodall Elementary School, recently added a new method of positive reinforcement while promoting literacy. The school held a ribbon cutting for “Inchy’s Bookworm Vending Machine” on Monday, May 2. The vending machines in the middle of the school’s foyer and will accept special gold tokens given to students as a reward for exhibiting kindness, good behavior, and exceeding academic goals. This concept is the first of its kind for any school in Robertson County.
The vending machine was purchased for the school through a recent fundraiser organized by librarian Jamie Marvin. Marvin was inspired after reading articles and stories of various schools around the country installing similar machines. The machine has additional upgraded features to support the needs of students at Woodall. “Since our school currently works with students in pre-kindergarten through second grade, we made sure to include picture book options, along with chapter books,” noted Marvin.
Unlike the library, students do not have to return the books they get from the vending machine and will be able to keep them at home. Marvin hopes to supply the books needed to refill the machine through community donations and future fundraising efforts.
Students: Cadence Milburn, Lex Armstrong, and Lucas Perea (not pictured) were selected to be the first book recipients of the machine for being the top myON readers for the school year. Principal Dinah Maupin, Robertson County Materials and Media Coordinator Dr. Ginny Britt, and librarian Jamie Marvin were also on hand to celebrate. The White House Chamber of Commerce lent the ribbon cutting scissors and helped document the occasion.

City of Springfield, TN – Springfield Electric and TVA partner to provide STEM Grants to Robertson County Schools
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in partnership with Bicentennial Volunteers, Inc. (BVI), a TVA retiree organization, awarded STEM grants to three Robertson County Schools. These grants are awarded in an effort to develop science, technology, engineering, and math education projects to help spark student interest in future careers in STEM-related fields.
Teachers across TVA’s seven-state region applied for funding of up to $5,000 for projects, and 233 applications were selected. To be eligible, schools must receive their power from a local power company served by TVA.
Among those selected were three Springfield schools who are served by the Springfield Electric Department: Cheatham Park Elementary School, Robertson County Phoenix Academy, and Robertson County Innovation Academy.
Cheatham Park Elementary plans to use its grant money to purchase robots to help students learn how to code.
Robertson County Phoenix Academy plans to use its grant money to fund holistic garden-based learning leveraging science to teach children real-life problem-solving skills.
Robertson County Innovation Academy plans to use some of its grant money to fund a project-based learning event, iA Hacks the Pandemic, designed to empower and inspire scholars to think of practical solutions to real-world issues. The remainder of the funds will be used to provide renewable energy education kits to educate on alternative energy sources and procure solar equipment to help power an outdoor engineering workshop.
“TVA is committed to supporting STEM education to help develop today’s students into tomorrow’s engineers, scientists, and IT professionals,” said Jeannette Mills, TVA executive vice president, and chief external relations officer. “It’s inspiring to be able to contribute to the innovators of the next generation.”
Since 2018, TVA and BVI have awarded nearly $2 million in STEM grants to support local education.
A full list of grant recipients and information on how to apply for a future STEM grant can be found at www.tvastem.com.
What is National Police Week?
National Police Week occurs every May, and in 2022 we will be commemorating it with live, in-person events. National Police Week 2022 in United States will begin on Sunday, May 15, 2022 and ends on Saturday, May 21, 2022. The National Law Enforcement Memorial and Museum will hold ceremonies, including the 34th Annual Candlelight Vigil, to honor the fallen officers whose names have recently been added to the Memorial.
The 34th Annual Candlelight Vigil was held on Friday, May 13.
In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
National Police Week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America’s law enforcement community.
