Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl Club
Are You a Great Reader? Want to Read Some Great Books?
Want to Test Your Knowledge?
Want to Compete Against Other Students at EJ and Other Schools in Fulton County?
Then Join the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl Club!
The Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl is a fun, gameshow type competition where you will compete against other schools in the county to test your knowledge of the selected book. At the reading bowl, “contestants” will compete by buzzing in and correctly answering questions about this year’s books faster than the opposing team.
This afterschool club is for 4th and 5th grade students. Reading Club members will read and discuss the selected books. Ten students from the Reading Club will be selected through a point system to be our Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl Team. Our Esther Jackson Team will represent us at this year’s Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl. The competition will be held virtually this year, and the tentative date for this event is Saturday, January 30, 2021.
The Reading Club will meet weekly on Thursdays from 2:45 – 3:30 on Microsoft Teams starting October 15th.
