Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl
The Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl is a tribute to
Media Specialist Helen Ruffin. Elementary students who wish to
participate must read and test on six to nine books. Every year this
list changes, the books on the list are the Georgia Book Awards and
there are seventeen books on the list to choose from. We are sending two
teams with five members on each team with two alternates attending. To
increase your chances of being selected to represent Pine Street
Elementary in the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl, the more books you read and
test the better your chance.
Math 24 Club
The Math 24 club exposes students to advanced concepts of mathematics, deepening their understanding of mathematics, enhancing problem-solving skills, and helping them compete in math competitions.
Pine Street Yearbook Club
The Yearbook Club is typically made up of 4th and 5th grade students who
are proud representatives of our school. Students work with the
Yearbook Sponsor to make decisions on the design of the yearbook and use
Lifetouch's website to create the school's yearbook. Students meet
during and after school so transportation after meeting is needed.

Sci-App Team
The Science Assistant Program (SciAP) is designed for 5th grade students
who are interested in learning more deeply about Science concepts,
inquiry and the use of tools of Science. One goal of the program is for
students to learn how to teach others about Science concepts and use of
tools. SciAP Assistants could then be available to assist classroom
teachers by providing their students with mini-lessons on proper usage
of tools, such as triple beam balances and microscopes. Students will
apply to become a SciAP assistant. Behavioral norms must be maintained
in order to remain in the program and to be allowed to serve as a
classroom assistant.
