Battle of the Books is an extracurricular ongoing book club where students in grades 3-6 read 8-10 books chosen by a select group of teacher-librarians. In January the students have a mini school battle where they answer questions about the books. The 4 students who answer the most questions correctly become the battle team for our school, with 4 team members. They go to the district battle at the end of April where they battle against other schools. There is a 3/4 team, a grade 5 team and a grade 6 team.
