Media Center Services
Eagles Book Club
Junior Academy Only (Grades 6th - 8th)
The DREW-Eagles Book Club is designed to promote literacy school wide. This special group of students enjoys reading just for pleasure! Students will read a list of books and participate in monthly book discussions.
Book club members will participate in Book Fairs, Book Buddy Mentoring Program, Reading Counts, AFPL Library Card Drive, Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl, Writing Workshop, Blog for Club and many more!
Book Buddies Program
Senior Academy Only (Grades 9th - 12th)
In keeping with this forward-looking and student-directed approach to education, Drew has implemented a peer mentoring program that integrates STEAM with literacy. The Book Buddies program pairs 9th, 10th and 11th grade Drew students with Kindergarten learners chosen based on their need for additional literacy support. Each month, “Big Buddies” engage in one-on-one reading time with their “Little Buddies,” and work together on a variety of activities designed to strengthen the younger students’ reading comprehension skills. What differentiates this program from other peer literacy programs and results in a greater impact on student achievement is that all literacy activities are interwoven with science, technology, engineering, arts and math, while challenging all participants to practice essential 21st century competencies, such as technology fluency, creativity, collaboration and problem solving.
Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl Team
The Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl (“HRRB”) is a unique reading competition offered to Drew 4th-12th grade students. The “bowl” is a competition between schools and uses questions from the Georgia Book Award and Georgia Peach Teens list nominees in a quiz bowl-like format.Novel Engineering is an integrated approach to teaching engineering and literacy. As part of Novel Engineering, students develop projects based on texts they read in English Language Arts or other content classes, such as history. The characters become their clients and students pull from the text to scope problems and set constraints as they engage in engineering design.
