ES & MS Battle of the Books

Each year the library hosts reading competitions called Battle of the Books (BOB) for ES students in grades 1-4 and MS students in grades 5-6. Students enjoy reading while working in teams to read a variety of great books over several weeks. Parents are invited to come cheer and see who wins. Of course, all our students are winners just by reading so many good books!
