On Wednesday, the Faculty/Parent Battle of the Book tournament took place in the library. Like the student Battles, this one was very competitive!
Despite being the smallest team, Ms. Gearhart and Ms. Wisniewski were victorious! Thank you to all of our teachers who read the books and shared the MCBA spirit with their students!
Four Fifth grade teams battled it out in today's BOTB tournament. The team of Andersen, Blaine, Brighton, and Joonsah was victorious. Congratulations to all of the teams for a terrific showing.
Champs!
We had two top teams competing for the sixth-grade BOTB title this afternoon.
The 2021- COVID year champions, Lloyd, Livia, and Meghan, Team 1, joined together once again to face challengers Isaac, Omega, and Gray, Team 2 (team member Ruth was absent.) Neck in neck throughout the first four rounds, Team 2 came through with a win by one point! They move on to the school championship on February 28.
Great job everyone!
The BOTB tournament began Tuesday with five fourth-grade teams battling it out. The action was intense as students tested their knowledge of the 25 MCBA books.
In a dramatic finish, the team of Astrid, Addi, Anna, August, and Jason won by 1 point! Congratulations!
Thanks to all who took part in today's contest.
Teams are forming...books are being reviewed...

On January 11, we were treated to a wonderful visit from author Melissa Savage. We learned about her work, her writing process, and the stories behind Lemons. She was so kind and engaging! We can't wait to read all of her other books.
I loved this book, full of interesting characters, a big heart, and Bigfoot. Have you read it yet? Don't wait!
