Chase students compete in Battle of the Books

StudentsOnce again, Chase students proved to be voracious readers as demonstrated by the Battle of the Books competition.

Teams of fourth and fifth grade students read 30 preselected books that varied in level and genre to prepare for the actual competition. Librarian Dorothy Szarowski hosted both rounds of competition in the school library.

StudentsBeginning in May, there was a grade level round where the top three teams from each grade level advanced to the final round. The teams were asked 30 questions about the books they read. As a team, students were required to answer using only the authors and titles.

StudentsPoints were tallied and the team with the most points became the Battle of the Books champions. Congratulations to all the participants!
