The Battle of the Books Program
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.
