New this year, we are asking that all team coaches attend a mandatory coaches meeting prior to registering their teams. There are two meeting dates from which to choose: Tuesday, September 25th,  6 PM-7:30 PM, or Monday, October 8, 6 PM-7:30 PM. Coaches only need to attend one of these two meetings. At the meeting, team coaches will receive a registration form so that they can register their team.

We have also changed the times for the Ruffin Reading Bowl competition. This year, elementary school (grades 4-5) students will compete on Saturday, January 19, from 9 AM-12 PM, and middle (grades 6-8) and high schools (grades 9-12) will compete on the same day from 2 PM-5 PM. Both competitions will be held at McEachern High School.

To encourage her students to read, she created a competition game based on the Georgia Children’s Book Award nominees. The idea took hold in DeKalb County and grew to a statewide competition in 2003.
