Battle of the Books
Battle of the Books (BOB) is back again for a fifth year at TES! This an easy way for kids in grades 3-8 to be involved in school, expand their reading horizons, and be part of a team. This is also a fun way for parents to get in volunteer hours by being BOB coaches. We are seeking parent volunteers to help coach BOB teams. Teams (3rd-8th grade) will meet over zoom, starting after fall break and ending in Feb/March. This year we plan to use online tools such as Kahoot!
