The College of Education will honor Georgia's First Lady Sandra Deal and her efforts toward improving literacy education in Georgia on Jan. 15, 2013, with a visit to the college's Child Development Center and a luncheon to recognize her achievements. Books will be donated in her honor to the center, as well as a public school library and public library of Mrs. Deal's choice.

 

In March 2012, Mrs. Deal began her "Read Across Georgia" initiative to support Gov. Nathan Deal's goal of increasing the number of children reading at grade level by the time they complete 3rd grade. Mrs. Deal has been visiting schools across the state, reading to students and emphasizing to teachers and parents the necessity of mentorship and the importance of being reading-proficient.

 

Both the Child Development Center visit and the luncheon are invitation-only events. For more information about this and other Centennial activities, click here.
