Hey Rams,
I am starting to meet with Arnold students who are interested in being on our Reading Bowl team. We'll meet every other Tuesday until December when we will start meeting every Tuesday in preparation for the competition to be held in late January. Come by the Media Center for a parent permission form. See the link below to see how this fun competition got started.

The collection of 20 books that we are reading for the competition have been nominated to be the Georgia Book Award book for middle grades. We will vote in February for our favorite book, and we'll anxiously wait for the results to come out in early April to see which of these fantastic books will be the winner!
