By recognizing an individual who has made notable contributions in these areas, the resolution emphasizes the importance of educational leadership and community service in fostering a literate and informed populace. Furthermore, it indirectly supports initiatives intended to enhance reading and agricultural awareness among children, reflecting broader educational goals within the state.

SR40 is a resolution that honors Hannah Edelen, who held the title of Miss Kentucky 2022. The resolution highlights her achievements, which include her role as a public school teacher, her educational accomplishments, and her active participation in various community initiatives. Edelen's commitment to lifting literacy rates through her 'Read Ready Initiative' is also a focal point in the resolution.
