Jabari Sullivan (4th Grade-Mrs. Dodd)
2018-2019 E. J. Swint Spelling Bee Winner
The 2018 Spelling Bee at Swint Elementary was a wonderful experience that took place in Swint’s Cafetorium and lasted a total of 15 suspenseful rounds until a winner emerged. The winning word that brought the spelling bee to an end was creatures, (c-r-e-a-t-u-r-e-s). Jabari will compete in the county spelling bee on January 31, 2019 at Clayton County's Performing Arts Center.

History of the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl
Several years ago, Mrs. Helen Ruffin, a library media specialist in DeKalb County, wanted to find a way to use the nominee books from the Georgia Children’s Book Awards to encourage her students to read. She therefore created a unique reading competition in game format, called the Reading Bowl, using the award nominees. Her vision was to have teams comprised of students from different schools compete to test their knowledge of the selected books.
Today, the Georgia Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl is open to students in grades four through twelve across the state.

"It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. Something that will stretch their imaginations--something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own."
Katherine Patterson
