The 2024 Leadership Hardin County class presented an Inchy Worm Book Vending Machine to Creekside Elementary School as the culmination of their class project.

The class worked tirelessly to raise funds for the project, which will make a lasting impact on the students of Creekside for many years to come.

The machine was unveiled on February 28, 2025 to very excited students and staff. Two outstanding students were chosen to be the first to select books from the machine. With enthusiasm and beaming smiles, they happily inserted the golden tokens into the machine and each selected a new favorite book.

Kudos to the LHC class for completing this awesome project and supporting literacy in our schools.
