Paulding County Hosts Annual Reading Bowl Competition
Paulding County hosted its annual Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl competition in early February. Students from several elementary and middle schools went head-to-head to answer questions about books they’ve read over the last several months. The books are from the 2017-2018 Georgia Children’s Book Award nominees list.
In the elementary competition, Sam D. Panter Elementary’s team took the school's first Reading Bowl win with 1st Place. Dallas Elementary's Team were the 2nd Place Team.
"It was a changing moment in my life to know that I could accomplish something so big. It was a lot of work, but I made friends and experienced great joy reading all the different kinds of books the Reading Bowl had to offer,” said Panter Reading Bowl Team member and 5th grader, Ava Capalbo.
Scoggins Middle School took 1st Place in the Middle School Category, with Hershel Jones Middle School placing 2nd.
The top two teams in both the elementary and middle school categories were able to compete at University of West Georgia on Saturday, February 10th, at the regional Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl competition.
