Battle of the Books runs from October to the end of February each school year. Students form teams of 2 - 4 members where they will read, discuss books, and practice throughout the fall and early winter. At the beginning of January, teams will battle each other by taking team tests on the books. The top Omro teams will have the honor of representing Omro Middle School and Omro High School in the final state test. The Middle and High School team that makes it to the end will have the chance to test the knowledge they gathered from the 20 assigned books against other students throughout the state.
Battle of the Books is a fun academic club that focuses on reading new or classic books and testing students' knowledge of what they read. The new list of selected books is released in early June so students have a chance to read over the summer to prepare before the school year begins. There will be a celebration for all participants at the local level!

In May of 2019 the winning team for Omro Middle School had a fantastic day celebrating their victory. The morning began with a visit to H.B. Patch Elementary where the girls read to students and visited their past teachers. From there they went to Barnes and Noble to pick out 14 new books for the School Library and ended their day with lunch and a movie. Congratulations for your hard work this year!
