Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed a proclamation declaring September 30, 2024, as Georgia Reads Day. The purpose is to raise public awareness around low state literacy rates and bring attention to the Georgia Reads movement, a statewide initiative headed by the Georgia Council on Literacy that aims to improve reading skills of all ages through a unified, community-centric approach. Sumter County Schools Board Member Carolyn Hamilton participated in Georgia Reads Day and read to Mrs. Erika Morales and Mrs. Bernadette Smith's kindergarten class. The students enjoyed the book, My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World, by Malcolm Mitchell. Malcolm Mitchell is a Super Bowl Champion and Literacy Advocate. He also held a Statewide Reading Rally at the College Football Hall of Fame.
