Battle of the Books

This year, middle schoolers at Sacred Heart have a new opportunity to compete in Battle of the Books! See below:

4th through 8th grade are invited to participate in Battle of the Books, which is a program that some of you may already know about. Battle of the Books is a friendly competition between students. Students will be in teams where they will divide up a list of books and read those books over the next few months. The team will have a parent volunteer who will meet with them to help make sure the students are staying up on their reading and making note of the important parts of their books. Then in May, we will have the teams come together to battle between each other over questions from each book. This is a fun way to encourage reading and to add a little friendly competition into the mix.Students will have until the 27th to register their team. There are 2 levels of book lists, 4-6 grade and 6-8 grade. There are a few requirements as this is open to multi-grades.

Requirements:

● Teams of up to 6 members

● Must have a parent volunteer

● Teams can be a mix of students from different grade levels based on level of book list. Each team must submit a form (1 per team) with each member listed, grade level, and their parent volunteer. Parent volunteer must sign the form. Teams that do not have a parent volunteer may not participate. After all forms are collected, an email will be sent to the parent volunteer with more information and book list.

We look forward to beginning Battle of the Books, and we hope that it encourages our students to grow in their love for reading!
