Elementary Battle of the Books Book Fair
Later this month, our school will have an Elementary and Middle School Battle of the Books Book Fair at Antioch. Up until now, our spring BOB Book Fair has only been for fifth graders to promote the BOB program in the middle school. But, now that we have started an elementary Battle of the Books program this year, we are extending our book fair to all third-fifth grade students. The Book Fair will run from May 22nd - June 6th. Kathy Gwinn will talk to all the third and fourth grade students about the program and the fair, while Diane Minsker from Weddington Middle will talk to the fifth graders about the middle school program. The book fair is to help students become aware of the program and get them reading these books over the summer.
