Congratulations Battle of the Books Team!

Congratulations to our South Slope Team who won second place at the South Zone finals of the Battle of the Books on Tuesday, May 2nd! These grade 6/7 students were part of a lunch time club that has been meeting once a week since Spring Break.  Students read as many of the 10 books as they could (some even read all 10!) and then we “battled” each week with trivia questions about the books.  The team was made up of students who both wanted to go to the battle and who had read the most books. Ten schools participated in the South Zone finals at Taylor Park Elementary.  They were asked forty tough questions and answered 27 correctly to place second! The winning school was Taylor Park with 31 correct answers- we weren’t far behind.  Thank you to our PAC for purchasing books for this club.  We can’t wait for next year!
