In 2005, CHS students Trey Daugherty and Tabitha Smith visited the new Central Middle School to read to Mrs. Redmon's eight grade english class. Teachers read a variety of books and poems to their respective classes. The day was also celebrated at the monthly Volunteer State Book Breakfast in the library.
