Our Reading Bowl team had an incredible day at TomeCon in Athens on the campus of the University of Georgia!
Students spent the day surrounded by books and authors — attending workshops and talks led by authors, creating book-themed crafts, and listening to the keynote speaker, Gordon Korman (yes, that Gordon Korman!). They also enjoyed an author Q&A panel and had the chance to meet several authors and get their books autographed.
It was a full day of celebrating reading, creativity, and the joy of great stories. We are so proud of our readers for representing our school so well!

Our Reading Bowl team did an amazing job competing in the GSCS Reading Bowl on Friday! 📚
These students worked incredibly hard to prepare. They read seven novels, took AR quizzes, studied together, and practiced answering Quiz Bowl–style questions about the books. Their dedication and teamwork truly paid off — they earned 3rd place!
We are so proud of their effort, commitment, and love of reading. Great job representing our school!
