Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Battle of the Books

Our little one decided last fall to compete in a school-wide competition called Battle of the Books.  To be eligible, you have to gather up a group of 5-6 students and each commit to reading at least 5 books out of a possible 20 pre-selected, award-winning titles.




Then, the teams compete in the spring to see who remembered the most about the books.  The team who correctly answers all questions regarding the author, characters, places, and events within the books will be crowned victorious to represent the school in the district-level competition.

Each team then elects a spokesperson who is the only one allowed to answer for the team.  Our daughter was given this prestigous role, and we were honored.

Want to know how she did?  Click the links below in order so you don't spoil the ending.

Part 1 - (You won't want to miss the introductions and first 5 questions.)

Part 2 - (Keeps you on your seat for who begins to drop out.)

Part 3 - (Did this just go into overtime?)

So proud of our little girl and her teammates!
