Today, Wilkinson County Schools proudly joins in the statewide celebration of Georgia Reads Day! Governor Brian Kemp proclaimed Monday, September 22, 2025, as a day for all Georgians to recognize the power of reading to transform lives and strengthen communities.
As our students learn from home today, families are encouraged to tune in to the Virtual Reading Rally with Malcolm Mitchell, hosted by GPB, at GeorgiaReads.org. At the same time, Warrior Nation is taking part in our own district-wide reading challenge:
Post a photo of yourself or your child reading on Facebook and tag Wilkinson County Schools.
Each entry will go into a drawing for a $50 Barnes & Noble gift card.
This celebration also comes during September’s Free Library Card Sign-Up Month, reminding us that one of the most important tools for student success is access to books. Families are encouraged to visit their local library and make sure every child has a card of their own.
