Do you remember ever hanging out with your principal after school hours? Chances are, like most people, you wouldn’t have ever thought of it. After all, school principals aren’t often known for their camaraderie with students, but one first-year principal from Texas might just change that stereotype.
Dr. Belinda George is the principal of Homer Drive Elementary School in Beaumont, Texas. Apart from getting along with students, she’s also found a way to channel their love of social media into a more productive endeavor: reading! In December 2018, George started “Tucked-In Tuesdays” every week at 7:30 p.m. The 42-year-old principal gets into her pajamas and reads a new book on Facebook Live through the Homer Drive Elementary School Facebook page for her 680 students.
