Dozens of families from Prince George County's five elementary schools made their way to Prince George High School for a night of exciting fun at the athletic field, but it wasn't sports that brought them there - it was a night full of reading and imagination!

Beazley, Harrison, Middle Road, North, and South elementary schools came together for a unique family engagement night activity dubbed "Read Under the Stars." The event brought families out to the high school's athletic stadium for an evening of reading.
As part of the event, school staff and administrators spent time building relationships with their families while helping out with the event. Across dozens of blankets on the stadium grounds, families read books and enjoyed snacks and meals under mild, slightly out-of-season conditions for November.
The event is one of many throughout the school year that each elementary school hosts to foster positive relationships within their school community and inspire a generational love of learning for the young and young-at-heart!
