NLMSIS get ready to battle...about books, that is! All students are invited to participate in the state Battle of the Books competition, organized by the Wisconsin Educational Media and Technology Association. Students participating in the battle are required to form a team of 2-4 students, and then as a team read all of the books from one of the lists below. Fifth and sixth graders may choose to join either the elementary division or the middle division. From now until February, the team's job is to read, read, read! Then, in February all teams will meet to compete in a school-wide battle. The winning team from each division will represent our school at the state competition.
If you are interested in learning more about Battle of the Books, plan on attending an introductory meeting in the library on Monday, November 4 during Bulldog Time. See Mrs. Young in the library with any questions.
