The Helen Ruffing Reading Bowl Team

The Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl is a state-wide reading initiative and quiz bowl-style competition that tests students' knowledge of Georgia Peach Award books.

We participate in the HRRB! The Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl (HRRB) is a fun, quiz-bowl type competition. At the Bowl, students strive to "buzz" in and correctly answer questions about the current year's Georgia Book Award nominees faster than the opposing teams. During competitions, students are tested on their knowledge of books in a quiz bowl format. Winning teams advance to the next level of competition. Levels of competition include district, regional, division, and state competition. The district competition takes place in late January.

Up to 10 students will be chosen to represent Woodland Middle School in the competition.  If you are interested, see Mrs. Tino (Media Specialist) today and begin reading. To prepare for the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl, the members will read and discuss the ten books, write practice questions, practice using the competition buzzers, and memorize facts about the books.  The Reading Bowl Team meets twice a month from August until January.
