Battle of the Books
Battle of the Books (BOB) is a trivia style competition where teams of four students from each grade level compete against each other answering questions about books. There is a list of ten books that should be read by each member on the teams so they are best prepared to answer the questions.
BOB will begin in October. The first few months will be spent reading and strategizing with the teams (memorizing authors!). In January, we will begin mock competitions to familiarize the teams with the format of the competition. There will be a campus competition February 27, 2024 to determine the winning teams from each grade level that will compete in the district competition on March 8, 2024.
