Middle School Battle Of the Books

What is Battle of the Books (BOB)?

MS BOB is a book trivia competition for Middle School students.  Members of Sterling’s BOB team are expected to read all 10 books that are on the designated  MS BOB list .  In the spring we will compete in a regional competition with other Middle School teams from our area. The competition is a quiz show style contest were 5 team members from 2 different schools go head to head answering trivia questions about the books they have read.  If we win both rounds at our first competition, we get to compete a second night at the district competition. Final dates and location are yet to be determined.

MS BOB advisors: Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. Sheppard
