Division II Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl

On Saturday, February 22 our girls participated in the Division II Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl held at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro. Our team performed admirably earning the first place finish required to move to the state competition! Scores are normally very close at this event but MMS was able to beat the second place finishers, St. Mary’s Middle of Camden County, by fifty points! The team looks forward to competing at the state Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl which will be held at the Georgia Center at the University of Georgia in Athens on Saturday, March 8. Only two teams from each level (District I and District II) progress to state. MMS will compete against Chamblee Middle School of DeKalb County.
