Shirley Miller visits Daves Creek
Gov. Zell Miller’s wife, Shirley Miller, recently visited Daves Creek Elementary as a “mystery read
er.” Miller was participating in the school’s “We’re Hooked on Reading” program. Above right,
Miller read “The Little Engine that Could” to Sharon Erickson’s class. Following the story, Miller
discussed the book with the group of second and third graders. Later she signed the book and
donated it to the children. The Mystery Reader program at Daves Creek involves Georgia’s com
munity of readers to provide the students with invaluable examples of the lifelong importance of
reading. Above left, Miller observes Josue Trejo as he works on the computer.
