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!
Thank you!
