Yes. The heading is true! We held our 30th Annual Battle of the Books Thursday night April 25 at the Lincoln School. We also honored the retirement of two people who have participated in the Battle from the very beginning: Mrs. Simpson and Mrs. Hahn. Thank you for your 30 years of support for this event.
Students from Wheeler/Hamilton, Lincoln, Gordon and St. Michael's answered quiz-show-like questions about the 30 books on the Battle List. They competed collaboratively on teams that included students from all four schools. Each school also performed a cheer. As you can see from the video, not only did our 4th graders create a fun cheer they also performed it with a ton of enthusiasm. For those of you who haven't attended the Battle in the past, you would be amazed by the palpable excitement in the room. One fourth grader put it best, "That was the best night of my life!"
