  • Readers Rally

    It has been decided that the Gwinnett County Readers Rally event for February 2021 is postponed until 2022. As disappointing as this news might be for avid participants of our annual event, the safety and concern for all students, coaches, and volunteers was the committee’s main priority.

    For 2021-2022:
    The Gwinnett Readers Rally is a quiz bowl style competition for students and is offered to 4th and 5th grade students at Harbins. Students read books from a predetermined list and answer questions about those books. Each Gwinnett County school may send up to 10 players to the Readers Rally. For current 3rd and 4th graders at Harbins, the book lists for this school year will remain the same for the 2022 event and are available for checkout. Get a head start on next year!
