Battle of the Books

Congratulations to Northside K8 for winning the 2016-2017 District Elementary Battle of the Books competition. Second place goes out to last year's winners Vaughan Elementary, and Third place Mariam Boyd Elementary. South Warren Elementary was unable to participate this school year.

The district competition is the culminating activity for a year- long reading program that is designed to encourage reading for students in the fourth and fifth grades. The North Carolina State Library Media Association EBOB Committee releases a list of books that represent quality literature of varying viewpoints and literary styles by outstanding authors of literature for young adults. Participating students ' gain knowledge of a broad range of topics, vary their choices of reading materials, improve reading skills, and enjoy the excitement and fun of competition
