Later on March 25, VBSchools announced an initiative to involve the community in choosing a mascot for The Beacon mobile resource truck: “Help us give The Beacon, our Mobile Resource Truck, a face to match its mission!
The Office of Family and Community Engagement (@VBFACE1) invites students, staff, and the community to vote for The Beacon’s official mascot.

Virginia Beach City Public Schools is one of Virginia’s largest school divisions and regularly collaborates with organizations such as For the Players Foundation to enhance student experiences. Programs like The Beacon are part of ongoing efforts by VBSchools’ Office of Family and Community Engagement to provide resources directly to families across the district.
