Birthday Books, Not Cake | Lawrence News

At Cordill-Mason Elementary, birthdays mean books—not cake. A PTA-funded vending machine lets kids pick their own new book with a birthday coin, sparking joy and turning reading into an adventure. Principal Jaclyn Brunk’s mission? Instill a lifelong love of literature—and it’s working. Older students mentor younger ones through the “Pride Pack,” making the experience even more special. The PTA’s always looking to expand, so local businesses can help keep the shelves stocked. Want to fuel young minds? Support the Cordill-Mason Elementary PTA.
