The Jr. Tome Society student application is ready for 2025-2026!
Students who LOVE reading are encouraged to join this fun reading group which will take place during PAWS time. Only students who are not in another school activity, sport, music, academic club, etc. may join due to the requirements of strong attendance and reading requirements for the reading bowl and literary competitions.
During PAWS, we will read the books, have book discussions, work on literary competition materials, practice for reading bowl quizzes, and just enjoy the love of books!
In Jr. Tome Society, students read 10 books to compete in three reading bowls and literary competitions. If the TMS Jr. Tome Society places in the top ten, the team will go to Tomecon in March 2026. There will be student fees to attend Tomecon and to purchase team shirts.
