UPDATE: Former NFL Super Bowl champion Malcolm Mitchell just made a profound impact on Colquitt County students today, November 18, 2025, by presenting his acclaimed “Read with Malcolm – Share the Magic Foundation” program. In a dual event designed for 2nd and 8th graders, Mitchell combined the joy of reading with an electrifying pep rally atmosphere, captivating young minds and promoting literacy.
The innovative program, which lasted an hour, transformed the traditional author visit into a dynamic experience filled with excitement and engagement. Students not only enjoyed a mesmerizing magic show but also received their very own copy of Mitchell’s book, fostering a love for reading among the youth. This initiative is part of his ongoing commitment to improving children’s literacy, a mission he has championed since founding the Share the Magic Foundation in 2016.
The Colquitt County Educational Foundation proudly partnered with the Colquitt County School District to host this inspiring event, supported by local sponsors including Southern Regional Technical College, Swartzentruber Medical Services, and Southeastern Urogynecology & Pelvic Surgery.
Mitchell expressed his excitement to connect with the students, stating, “Literacy opens doors, and I am here to help share that magic.” The program aims to engage children not just in reading but in believing in their own potential.
With educational disparities affecting so many children, initiatives like this are crucial. The enthusiasm radiating from the students today highlighted the transformative power of community involvement and the importance of literacy in shaping futures.
As the day unfolds, the impact of Mitchell’s visit will resonate beyond the classroom walls, inspiring students to embrace reading as a pathway to success. This event marks a significant step in enhancing literacy and motivating young learners in Colquitt County.
