It's that time of year again to start thinking about Battle of the Books. Oregon Battle of the Books is a fun competition to get kids reading different books. It was started in 2007 and 135 teams across the state formed teams and battled using their wits and knowledge of what was read to answer questions from each of the 16 books.
MRA will compete in the two divisions, 3rd-5th and 6th-8th. The teams are composed of four students with one alternate. We will host our local school battles beginning January 2018. The top team will go on to regionals sometime in March. We will hold a meeting towards the end of October during lunch for all students who are interested. Parents are welcome to attend as well. The teams will need to be in placed by November of 2017 so that students can practice and make sure they have time to read the books. Now, is the time to talk to your child about being a part of a team and reading the selected titles. Our Mountain Meadow Library has copies of each of these books. Please encourage your students to come check them out. It's not too early to start.
