2024-25 EDUCATIONAL YEAR

Battle of the Books: the Battle of the Books program is a voluntary reading incentive program open to all 4th and 5th graders. Students work on teams to read a list of 20 books and then compete in a quiz-bowl like battle at the end of the year. Parent volunteers run meetings once a month during the lunch/recess period. PTA helps purchase necessary books and materials as well as t-shirts for the participants.
