Battle of the Books Club beginning at the end of October

10/11/2025 10:56 pm

Battle of the Books Club will be starting soon! Our first meeting is October 28, and it will continue to meet on Tuesdays after school from 3:10-4:10 until February 3. This club is open to 4th and 5th grade students. Club members will work in teams to answer questions about the 20 books from the Battle of the Books list. The Prospect team that earns the most points throughout the club meetings will compete against the other D181 elementary schools at the District Battle of the Books in February! An information letter and permission form went home with 4th and 5th grade students last week, and can also be found here. For questions, contact Mrs. Nolin (bnolin@d181.org) or Mrs. Swanson (rswanson@d181.org).
