The Honorable John Latham from the Lake County Circuit Court recently visited Mrs. Rightweiser’s 4th grade class for a special read-aloud, bringing energy and excitement to the room. Students were engaged as he shared stories and encouraged discussion throughout.
He also spoke about how reading plays an important role in his work, reminding students that strong literacy skills matter in every career. The visit was a meaningful way to connect classroom learning with the real world and inspire a love of reading.
Moments like these reinforce the value of community involvement in education, as professionals from all fields take time to invest in students’ growth.
The visit from Judge Latham served as a powerful reminder: no matter the profession, a love of reading is a foundation for success.
