Pike County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Damian Gatlin recently showed his support for local students by participating in Read Across America at Wee Care Academy Day Care Center in McComb
Each year, schools across the country celebrate Read Across America, a nationwide literacy initiative inspired by the legacy of Dr. Seuss.
The event encourages community leaders, parents, and volunteers to read to children and promote the joy of books.
Chief Deputy Gatlin joined students as a guest reader, helping make the day special and memorable.
“This was so much fun interacting with the children and we are very grateful for the invite.”
— Chief Damian Gatlin
Events like this strengthen the bond between law enforcement and the community, showing students positive role models while reinforcing the importance of reading and education.
