Middle School conducted their Battle of the Books (BoB) competition on Wednesday. All students participated in the morning preliminary rounds, and the top two teams from each grade competed against each other and a staff team in the afternoon. Yes, the staff team retained the crown :) The top two student teams will go on to regional competition next week. Outstanding performance BoB participants and winners, and a huge THANK YOU to Ms. Gunther, Mrs. Massey & Mrs. Derr for all their work in organizing and coordinating the battle!
