What a way to kick off summer! Dalton Public Schools 2nd graders celebrated the season with two unforgettable Reading Rallies filled with inspiration, excitement, and the joy of books! Students heard encouraging messages from district leaders, student-athletes, and special guest Malcolm Mitchell, who shared how learning to read changed his life. Every student received a personal copy of Malcolm’s book 'Hey Georgia' and followed along as it was read aloud, hanging on every word. A few lucky students even had the chance to join in fun activities—from tossing the football to answering questions for signed books! We are incredibly grateful to our community partners for helping us create such meaningful literacy moments. The energy, enthusiasm, and love for reading were truly contagious! #DaltonReads
