January 5, 2015 -- This Saturday, Jan. 10,
Governor Nathan Deal and First Lady Sandra Deal are asking Georgians to join
them in “With a Servant’s Heart,” a statewide day of service. There are two
event locations in the metro Atlanta area – City of Refuge and Drew
Charter School.
The
Georgia Department of Education is supporting this call to service by hosting a
book drive for children at City of Refuge. Please consider making a donation of
one or more new, unused children’s books. Donations can be dropped off in the
GADOE’s Communications Office, or at Regional Educational Service Agencies
(RESAs) throughout the state. Addresses for drop-off locations can be found at
the end of this release.
The
GaDOE encourages all Georgians to participate in this day of service. If you
would like to participate further in “With a Servant’s Heart,” you can find the
details here.
“Serving others and giving back to our communities is very
important to me,” said State School Superintendent-elect Richard Woods. “This
book drive reinforces my commitment to literacy. I encourage all Georgians to
join with us this week by donating new books for our kids.”
