Also, announced today, March 9, was the winner of the Georgia Book Award! Our own GA Book Award book club took part in this voting, the results of which I have included below. Follow this link to see next year's 2015-2016 GA Book Award Nominees!
Next year, F.AVE plans to participate in the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl State Competition! Most of the books will be available through our eBook library over the summer! Students who want to participate will have to read a number of books (TBA) over the summer, take tests on them upon returning to F.AVE in the fall, and qualify for our team. We will still have our regular GA Book Awards Club for those students interested in reading the books without the pressure of a competition.
