Fourth Annual CCSD Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl

The Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl competition is all about recognizing readers and sharing the love of reading.  In the competition, students compete on factual knowledge of 20 books.  Elementary and middle school teams read and compete using the Georgia Book Award title list, while high school students read and compete using the Georgia Peach Teen Reader's Choice nominee list.  Although a team of five students will compete against another team of five students at the same level (for example, high school students compete against other high school students) the student that buzzes in the quickest will be called upon to answer the question without assistance from teammates.

Winners of the CCSD Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl will proceed to the Regional Competition, scheduled to take place at The University of West Georgia on February 5, 2011; winners at the regional competition will move on to the Division 1 competition at Tussahaw Elementary on February 26, 2011.  The state final will take place at the Children's Literature Conference at the University of Georgia in March 2011.
