Meriwether County School System – Get Meriwether Reading
Get Meriwether Reading brings together the Meriwether County School System, Meriwether County Family Connection, the Meriwether Chamber of Commerce, public health, and early learning centers to strengthen literacy and school readiness for children birth through age eight. Programs such as Reading Cubs, Reading Rangers tutoring, Digging with Dads literacy gardening, and family nights deliver high‑quality learning experiences directly to families. The initiative distributes more than 3,000 books annually and has significantly reduced the number of kindergarten students identified as “at risk” within one year. By aligning health, education, and community resources, the partnership advances school readiness and long‑term educational outcomes across the county.
