Battle of the Books

Battle of the Books is a competition in which students compete against each other using their comprehension of pre-selected books. The regional competition consists of groups of students from different districts in the region competing against each other.

For the first time, Region One will be hosting a Battle of the Books Jr. competition, featuring students from kinder to 2nd grade. Roberto Garate Elementary is excited to be participating in this competition!
