Honey Creek Elementary placed second among 13 elementary schools in the third annual regional-level Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl for Metro Atlanta schools at Clayton State University on Saturday, Feb. 5. The Ruffin Reading bowl began in 1985 by DeKalb County by Library Media Specialist Helen Ruffin in response to the decline in reading by local students and has grown in participation to this year’s 32 metro Atlanta schools ranging from grades K-12. This years’ bowl held on Clayton State’s Morrow campus began at 9:30 a.m. By noon, the winners were chosen and awarded this year’s grand prize.
