Five students represented our school at the Santa Barbara County Battle of the Books. They participated in several activities, including a crossword competition, nominating a book for next year’s list, and creating a battle shield. One of our students won a book from a local author for the crossword competition, Charlotte K. Congratulations!

For next year, we plan to start in September and have a school wide Battle next March during an assembly for 4-6 grades.
