Battle of the Books

Stargate's Elementary School Battle of the Books won the district tournament in 2024! Congratulations to Captain- Akshay Paradkar, Isaac Lebsock, Chloe Ostrum, Suhjin Park, James Pradhan, and Sayonee Shah. Team sponsors are:  Colleen Vaughan and Donna McLeod 

 

Battle of the Books is a voluntary reading program. The purpose is simply to encourage students to read good books and have fun while competing with peers. Students are assigned a book list and then form teams that battle, initially in practice sessions and, ultimately in a schoolwide tournament, earning points by answering questions about the books on the book list. In most years, the Stargate champion goes on to battle against other schools from the Adams 12 Five Star Schools District. 

 

Space is limited in the Elementary School program and Stargate usually conducts sign up during the Fall semester. For more information, watch for school emails or contact the teacher sponsors.
