My Project

During the 23-24 school year, we won 4th place in our district in the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl. We had only single copies of the books for much of the first semester, and I believe we would have been able to achieve a higher place had we had ready access to the books earlier in the year.

It is my hope that together we will be able to get these excellent books into the hands of the students earlier in the year.

The books used in the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl are the ones put forth as exemplary novels for students in their grade level by the Children's Book Awards Committee through the University of Georgia's College of Education. Beyond just the Reading Bowl team, these books will later be available to all students to enjoy these amazing reads.

Ms. Kennedy will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 26.
