🇻🇮 Big things are happening for our youngest USVI learners! 📖✨
Right here in our territory, thousands of books are being delivered straight to the doorsteps of local children. Through the incredible partnership of a local non-profit — The Virgin Islands Children’s Museum (VICM) — and grant support from the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI), we are putting free, high-quality books directly into the hands of our territory’s youngest learners!
🗺️🎒

New research shows just how much of a game-changer this is for preparing our kids for kindergarten success. When a child receives these monthly books, the numbers speak for themselves:
🌟 9X More Family Reading: Kids in the program are nine times more likely to be read to 4 or more days a week.
📝 4X Stronger Literacy Skills: Enrolled children are at least four times more likely to show advanced early vocabulary and literacy skills.

Let's keep building our local home libraries!
🌱 Is your child under 5? Let's get them signed up today!
Registration is completely free for full-time USVI residents. Visit our website to sign up, or register through our amazing partners:

👉 VICM: vichildrensmuseum.org/imaginationlibrary

A new, groundbreaking international study, the largest dataset ever collected on shared book reading, confirms the program’s powerful impact.

☀️ Saharan Dust & Heat Risk Persistence 🌫️
We’ve felt it all workweek, and it isn't letting up just yet! High heat risks coupled with thick Saharan dust continue to blanket our area. If you are out and about today, make sure you are actively taking steps to protect your health:
💧 Hydrate early and often — don't wait until you're already thirsty.
🧢 Sun protection is a must — pack the sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat.
😷 Check your air quality — if you are sensitive to dust, consider limiting strenuous outdoor activities.
Stay ahead of the elements! You can track real-time conditions by visiting the CERCA St. Thomas CARICOOS School data portal. It’s packed with updates on this weather event, plus real-time data on:
🌊 Tides & Waves
💨 Wind speeds
🌡️ Local temperatures and more!

📱 Trying to get your teen off their screen this summer?
If your 11-17 year old is glued to video games or social media, let’s pivot that creative energy into something in-person, social, and genuinely educational.

🌟The Virgin Islands Children's Museum and Island Harbor Games are hosting Maps, Math, and Myths—a weekly tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) program designed specifically for adolescents.

Instead of staring at a screen alone, they’ll be sitting at a table with peers:
👥 Building social skills through team-based storytelling.
🧠 Practicing math and navigation (secretly baked right into the game mechanics).
🎨 Designing and painting their own custom game characters.
Full scholarships are still available thanks to viNGN, Inc., making this completely free for families who apply.
