**Battle of the Books**
What is the Battle of the Books?
This is an activity that promotes and supports reading
and in past years the students have been caught up in the spirit of
cooperation, collaboration and team rivalry to read as many books
as possible. The Battle of the Books kicks off in
November with an after-school Read-a-thon. Students can stay after
school to eat pizza, read books and win prizes. The actual
competition takes place in the spring, but in the meantime students
can come down to the LMC and win prizes by answering the Question
of the Week or submitting questions that are used for the Question
of the Week.
