Battle of the Books
CONGRATS!
On Friday, April 1, 2022, the BMS Battle of the Books team competed in the WNC Regionals virtual battle. They did an amazing job, placing SECOND, just behind Henderson County Schools (HMS). This talented team worked hard and prepared all year. They have certainly made us proud and represented BMS well. Way to go!

Welcome, readers!
Battle of the Books is a competitive team of 6-8th grade students who read a list of 16 young adult books and compete against other schools by answering detailed questions.
This club is for bibliophiles only!
If you love reading and the spirit of competition, this is the perfect club for you!
We compete at the county level against Rosman Middle in late February/early March* and the winning team
advances to WNC Regionals to represent Transylvania county.
Meetings:
The first meeting will be Wednesday, Sept. 21. If you cannot attend, see Mrs. Holland or Ms. Galloway.
Battle of the Books meets on Wednesdays in the BMS library until 4:00.

BMS Battle of the Books, 2019-2020 Transylvania County champions!
In a close battle, Brevard Middle came out victorious over Rosman Middle at the county match held in early March in the TC Library Rogow Room. Due to Covid-19, Regionals were cancelled, but BMS is proud to represent as the TCS Middle School Battle of the Books Champions. Way to go!
So what is BoB?
After reading books on the list and memorizing the titles and authors, students prepare for competition by answering questions that begin with the phrase: "In which book...?" We compete against RMS at the county level, and the winner of that contest will advance to Regionals in the early Spring.
Caught you READING!
If you love reading and are interested in joining Battle of the Books at BMS, let us know!
