Wildcard Winners

 Eight teams from grades 4-6 participated in the Wildcard round this morning, for a chance to compete in the School Tournament on February 23.

Congratulations to Ade, Avo, Maisie, and Starbuck on their excellent performance, which has secured

them a seat in the final. 

The Teacher's Turn

 A big part of the success of our MCBA program is the number of adults who participate each year. By reading and discussing these terrific books with students, they build a true community of readers. 

And they take their trivia seriously!

Congratulations to Ms. Ahern, Ms. MacCallum, and Ms. Wetherby, who held onto their crown for another year in the teacher-parent tournament!

Sixth Grade's Turn

 The sixth grade Battle of the Books tournament brought out some familiar faces, and former grade-level winners, along with first timers.

Congratulations to Charley, Lucas, Mio, and Jakey, for a well-played win! They move on to the school championship, while the other teams get a second chance in Thursday's Wildcard Round.

Grade 5 Winner!

 In an action-packed round, the grade 5 winning team of Noelle, Luna, Michelle, and Adee rose up victorious! 

Congratulations to all of our competitors!
