(Cleveland)-  Georgia’s first lady Sandra Deal paid a special visit to Mount Yonah Elementary School Thursday.   Deal, the wife of governor Nathan Deal, stopped by the school to say “ Thank You”  to teachers, during  Teacher Appreciation Week.  

In addition to giving her special thanks to the teachers and others who help educate our children she also took time to read to kindergarten students at the school.  A former teacher Deal said it’s something she enjoys doing.  She said, “ I still enjoy reading to children and I enjoy getting them involved  in the story and learning from it, because that is part of the purpose of reading, we want them to read for enjoyment but they learn so much from reading.” 

Mrs. Deal, at the invitation of Principal Jill  Baughman,  also took time to drop in on a couple class sessions while at the school
