Congratulations to this year’s Star Readers winners

STAR READERS 2024 FAQ

  1. The challenge was developed in an effort to promote reading among students in grades K-12 in order to enhance their learning experience during the fall semester. The program is open to all students grades K-12, whether they attend public school, private school or are homeschooled.
  2. To begin the program, students will fill out a reading log, to be approved by a parent or guardian, the reading logs will then be turned in for various rewards. Each reading level requires the student and parent/ guardian to log 5 hours of reading time.
  3. The logs are to be completed sequentially.
  4. To be entered into the grand prize drawing of $1000 deposited into a SC 529 Scholarship account, the child must complete the “Bonus Log”.
  1. Students can pick up the Star Level 1 reading log from their school or from any of our restaurants or download and print the form from our website (https://serggroup.com/starreaders/). When they have logged 5 hours of reading time, they will be eligible to turn in the Star 1 Reading Log either Giuseppi’s Pizza & Pasta House location in Hilton Head or Bluffton. When turned in, Giuseppi’s will issue a free star readers t-shirt the 2 nd reading and a “stamp book” with Log 1 stamped. The student will then be able to take that stamp book to the remaining locations of the challenge and get it stamped each time. Each location that issues new logs and stamps will keep the previous reading logs for evaluation at the end of the program.
  2. The student will keep the stamp book to track rewards as they are issued.
  3. At each Star Level, the restaurant/ location where the dining reward is redeemed will stamp the appropriate square and provide the next reading log.

To redeem either the $20 dining voucher or the $50 SERG Gift card reward the student must present the voucher/ gift card at checkout. One dining voucher reward per student can be redeemed per check. If there are multiple students on the same check more than one discount per check can be applied but only one per student.

Students are not required to purchase anything in order to get the next reading log as no purchase is necessary to participate.

The reward can be used on dine in and take out but is not eligible for delivery and online orders. This reward cannot be combined with any other discounts or promotions with the exception of the Community Strong VIP discount.

The Star Level 5 reading log must be turned in at SERG Take Out kitchen (no later than November 5 th ). The student will then be entered into a randomized raffle (week of November 11 th ) and then if chosen, will be notified.

We encourage parents of younger students to read with or to their student. This time can be documented on the reading log and turned in for dining credit and rewards.
