Clayton County board member reads for new 'Books End' literacy series
Summary
Clayton County Public Schools launched 'Books End,' a literacy series featuring board members reading children's books to highlight community literacy and invite families to participate via QR-coded activities.
Clayton County Public Schools launched a new literacy initiative called "Books End," featuring district leaders reading children's books to promote community engagement in reading. An unnamed announcer introduced the series, framing literacy as a community value and inviting families and partners to participate and share photos and videos with the district's social channel, @ccpsnews.
Mary Baker, who identified herself as a member of the Clayton County Board of Education for District 6, recorded a read-aloud of And Then Came You, When Families Grow, Love Grows Too, by Christina Shawn and illustrated by Shahir Badh Meydani. Baker read the book to illustrate the program's goal of showing how literacy "lives" in classrooms, homes and the broader community.
The district closed the segment by encouraging viewers to scan a QR code for a community connection activity and to continue learning at home. No policy decisions, motions, votes, or budgetary details were presented in the recording.
