Battle of the Books has started!

This is a voluntary reading program for grade 2-7. Students are already signing up and taking their books home. All reading levels are welcome, (being read to, or with, is an option, as well as listening to audiobooks).

Between December and March, each grade level will read the 10 titles on their list (see below). Starting in January, we will meet regularly to talk about the books. In February we have our school Battle of the Books-themed activities, which we call BOBFEST. Then, on March 5th we’ll battle the other teams from BVE and CPE. This year the district battle will take place on our home ground, at Arrow Heights!

If you have questions, please see Ms. Draboczi or ask your experienced classmates.

We are hoping to take a Revelstoke team to compete in Vernon after spring break.
