DVEF BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

Fifth and sixth grade students will be teamed in groups of three (with a maximum of 20 teams per school) to compete and test their knowledge in two exciting school competitions during the 2023-2024 school year. There will be three rounds held in October 2023, January/February 2024 and March 2024. Each round has 4 books for students to read and teams earn points based on correctly answering questions about each round's books.
