Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl Time

It is Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl time! Last year, ANCS Middle competed for the third time in this Jeopardy-like quiz competition for super readers. Preparation is intense, but fun, and the competition is VERY EXCITING!! I would like to extend the invitation to our students to participate in this state-wide event. Here are the details:

• Sign up in the media center with Ms. Linahan
• Must read 5 of the 20 books by Tuesday, October 13, 2015
• Must submit 10 trivia questions for each of the 5 books you read to Ms. Linahan by October 13, 2015. (I prefer you share via Google Drive)
• Attend meetings at least 1x per week with Ms. Linahan and other team members for practice. This will begin October 13 from 3:45-4:. Practice days TBD. I will offer at least 2 afternoons a week to help accommodate various busy schedules.
• Commit to become an expert on several assigned books and helping create the trivia questions.
• Commit to attending competition dates. Note to parents: set aside 2 - 5 hours depending on the level of competition we attend:
• Local: TBD (late January 2016)
• Regional: February 13, 2016
• Divisional: TBD
• The team consists of 5 players and up to 5 alternates.
• Final order of the team is determined by participation, trivia knowledge and sportsmanship.
• I have one copy of each book in the Media Center but you may also check your local library or purchase your own.

Please contact me if you have any questions.
I look forward to working with our new team!!
