Each year, our students are hopeful that they can continue participating in the fun, educational and thrilling competition that Battle of the Books offer. Our school teams will battle each other in March, then April we move on to the Regional Battles against 4th and 5th graders from other schools. You have given my students the opportunity to participate in these battles without the financial burden of purchasing the books for themselves.
