On Feb. 29 five local schools competed in The Battle Continues… a regional book trivia challenge. Teams of 3 or 4 7th-12th grade students read 10 books, including The Girl who Owned a City, Between Shades of Grey and Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus, in order to prepare for the competition on February 29th.
They met at Morristown Central School to answer “In what book” questions about the 20 titles.
The Power Puff Girls from Augustine Academy (Bethanee Motes, Kenley Sloan, Holli Campeau, and Staci Benedict) placed first in the tournament, and took home the trophy.
The Rabid Readers from Potsdam (Millicent Dean, Graham Rozler, Max Galluzzo and Miles Attemann) placed second, and The Royal Readers of Parishville-Hopkinton (Emma Malette, Kamryn Palmer and Alivia Sochia) placed third.
A special thank you to the NCLS Battle of the Books which was the inspiration for The Battle Continues… and Amber Gladle, the Morristown Central School librarian that made this competition possible.
Thank you also to Tanya Butler that served as the timekeeper today and Bridget Whalen-Nevins of the Morristown Public Library for her support and enthusiasm.
Please consider participating next year or participating in the NCLS fall book battle for 7th-9th graders!
