On Thursday, May 27th, The Liberty County School System held a press conference with Liberty Regional Medical Center. The press conference was held to mark the beginning of the LCSS partnership with the hospital through the Literacy for Learning, Living and Leading in Georgia (L4GA) grant which is worth $3 million. The school system chose the hospital because they want to improve pre literacy in Liberty County. “The purpose of this grant is to reach children from the time they’re born through 12th grade,” said Cathy Lane, the communications coordinator of LCSS. “We want to implement pre literacy before they get to us in school.
