Battle
of the Books is an after school club for sixth grade students who love
to read. Students work throughout the school year to read the following
book list of 22 titles. In the Spring the team competes against other
intermediate and middle schools on their knowledge of the books.
Students answer questions about the books by identifying the book title
and author. BoB meets after school one day a week until 3:30.
Coaches: Rachel Brillisour, Media Specialist
