Not a lot of activity to report. $13,000 is reserved for the book vending machines.

M. Neely noted that 7 applications were received for the pilot Book Vending Machine Program. A team of four reviewed the applications including Lisa Olens, Fadzai Konteh, Adria Welcher, and Michele Neely. The group has recommended that Ethos Classical and Spring Creek Charter Academy based on existing literacy programs and needs. The group considered the schools' need, existing literacy programs, and ability to maintain the machines and refill with books. The group also considered if the schools had other philanthropic support. 

Ms. Christine Keck spoke on behalf of Ethos Classical to explain their Mission to One Million reading program and how this vending machine will fit into their school. 

M. Neely provided an update on budget submission and program development. The goal is to make announcements at the beginning of April.

M. Neely provided an update on the wellness survey and connections made with outside entities.
