Day one of Battle of the Books was a huge success yesterday! These students did an amazing job answering questions about books they read and showing superb sportsmanship whether they won or lost. Thank you also to the wonderful parent volunteers, we could not have possibly gotten through 32 battles without you! Today we have our final 8, 4, and semi finals. Our final two teams per grade will battle it out Thursday afternoon. Good luck to all!
