2020 Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl
We are SO proud of our students who competed in the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl on January 25th at Therrell High School. We placed 5th in the district out of 61 teams and earned 420 points! Not only did our students stay until 4pm every Monday after school to prepare, but they had to get up bright and early on a Saturday morning to compete. Great Job Jags! We're very proud of you!
Stayed After School on Mondays to Practice!

- Bring hip-hop into your classroom
- Research places in our state (or surrounding states) that are listed in the Green Book (this is also a perfect companion activity if you're reading Clean Getaway by Nic Stone
- Highlight poetry written by African Americans and have students read the poetry with jazz music playing in the background.
