Join the Battle of the Books Team! We are going to participate again in the Elementary School Battle of the Books.  Students in the fourth and fifth grades are invited to participate.  Check out our list of this year’s books to read for “The Battle.”  Students must read all 12 books and pass the AR test to participate in the final competition.  We will be meeting once every other week for an hour after school to have fun discussing the books.  We will begin meeting in late October/early November.  Students who wish to participate should begin reading the books now.  Competitions with other schools in our area will be held later in the school year. More information, including meeting and competition dates, will be sent home at a later date.

 

 

***Remember...to participate in the final competition, you must read all of the books with a passing score on the AR tests.
