Battle of the Books Begins!

Today, while students enjoyed a day off, three teams of teachers battled for the teacher title in the Battle of the Books. I knew this would be a close round--our teachers are motivated, smart, and competitive! They have trained hard, reading many, many books.

The legacy team, always competitive and sharp.

Sporting Bement gear, what a great group of readers!

The winners! The gloves were on and they came ready to battle.

 At the end of regulation,  teams 2 and 3  were tied for the lead. They entered into a sudden death playoff and the winner was...
Team 3! Congratulations to the "Black and White and Red All Over" team of Ms. MacCallum, Ms. Temby, Ms. Conway, Ms. Robertson, and Ms. Wetherby! They move on to the school championship on February 25.
Congratulations to team 2, clinching second place: Ms. Dancer, Ms. Boyden, Ms. O'Brien, and Ms. Wisniewski for an outstanding effort!
Congratulations to team 1, our third place team: Ms. Lent, Mr. Feitlinger, Ms. Gearhart, and Mrs. Currie (also Ms. Ames who was away) the original teacher team who have competed fiercely for many years.

Both team 1 and 2 may enter the wildcard round.

Could this be the year of the teachers? Can they possibly defeat the students? Stay tuned!
