Welcome to a new school year.

We have retired the battles and moved on to a collaborative book club between our middle schools.  Check back in late September for all the juicy details!

Please support our early fall book fairs in the school library at each school.  Funds from these events help purchase titles for our clubs.

Congratulations!

Our representatives to the City Battle are:

Red Chile Peppers: Christina Aragon, Zach Brant, Claire Griffin, and Maren Kirland

Da Bomb: Anna Bottrell, Emma Krohn, and Allison Matye
