We thank all the students who so enthusiastically read and practiced for this year’s competition, as well as parents, teachers, media clerks, and other coaches and volunteers who helped them along the way. Special thanks to Nikki Gregerson, Elementary Library Media Specialist in the Educational Technology Department, who conceptualized and organized the Battle of the Books program for Granite School District and did much of the behind-the-scenes work to make the program a success. We also recognize special help from secretaries and assistants in the Educational Technology department that made the competition possible: Trinda Burdett, Alyssa Carraway, and Debbie Singer.
