For the past four years, 4th and 5th grade students from Centennial have
participated in the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl. Students are required to read
at least 8 of the Georgia Book Award books and are then tested on their
recall. The top 10 scores make up the Centennial Reading Bowl team that
competes against other schools in North Georgia--because we take the top 10
scores, the more you read the better chance you have of being on the team.
Last year, we traveled to Augusta where we came in second place in the
region! This year on February 7th, 2009 we traveled to Augusta to compete
again coming in 2nd place!
This year, we will once again be hosting the Centennial Reading Bowl. Fourth
and Fifth grade students were required to read atleast 3 GA Book Award books
and will be tested on October 22nd. Practice begins Oct. 27th.
