Dear Virginia E George Elementary School Families,
As we wrap up our Book Blast event, we want to thank you for helping grow our students’ home libraries and encouraging more reading over screen time. We can’t wait to get your students excited about reading and send them home with their new books in a few weeks!
If you haven’t had a chance to complete your student’s page yet, today’s the last day! By registering and sending 10+ invitations, your student will:
· Earn participation prizes that will be delivered along with their books
· Help their teachers earn shopping spree opportunities
Get started here: https://app.booksarefun.com/VirginiaEGES64402
· Register your student(s).
· Invite at least 10 friends or family members to support them.
Don’t forget, each supporter who clicks on your student’s link earns your family an entry for a chance to win a Disney trip too! More clicks = more entries!
Why families love this program:
· Every student receives new, age-appropriate books.
· 100% of contributions go toward books and classroom supplies.
· It takes less than 10 minutes, and there is no financial obligation from you.
More books at home = more reading success. Thank you for helping make this event a meaningful one for our students and school community!

We are pleased to announce and congratulate our VEG Students of the Month for February. The character trait we focused on throughout the month was Honesty. We are proud to recognize the following students for their outstanding demonstration of this important value.
Cullen Messner is a 2nd Grade student. "He is honest, even when it means owning up to a mistake. He takes responsibility for his choices and accepts the consequences, whether good or bad. We can rely on Cullen to be truthful about any situation."
Morgan Jones is a 5th Grade student. "Morgan consistently demonstrates integrity in both academic and social situations. She has shown exemplary honesty by admitting when she has made a mistake, returning items that were not hers, and encouraging classmates to do the right thing. Her trustworthiness makes her a role model for others in our classroom."
