Battle of the Books

A Program We Love

Battle of the Books is more than a program to us here at South Newton Middle School. B.O.B. is a four month long adventure that encourages students to work together in a team dynamic, read novels that are part of the Young Hoosier list,  and compete against each other in a competition of literary understanding.
