2020-2021 Battle of the Books
Rising 5th and 6th graders
Join us!
Do you love to read? Hang out in the library with friends? This is the club for you!
What is Battle of the Books? BOB is an extra-curricular activity that meets once every two weeks. We read a book during each 2 week period and get together to discuss it and quiz each other on facts, Jeopardy style! All members who join and come to the meeting are part of our Battle of the Books Team. In April, any members who want to compete for a chance to be on the Battle of the Books Competition Team get a chance to take a survey. 5 students and 3 alternates go on to represent STS by competing with other diocesan schools in May.
