About six weeks ago, Bennett was invited to participate in Oak Ridge Elementary Battle of the Books.  This is an honor given to students from each grade level, and Bennett was super excited to be involved.  Each participate had to read seven books, from a list of nine.  (B read all nine.)  After reading each selection, students completed a corresponding note sheet, and began the next book.  Reading was done at home.  The Battle of the Books is like a trivia contest, and students were put into teams of three, and asked questions that could pertain to any of the nine books from the list.  If a question was answered incorrectly, the team was eliminated.

The final battle was held today, and Andy was able to attend, and watch Bennett take home the championship prize!!

Bennett's team nabbed first place, and not only won official bragging rights, but each member received a $7 gift card to Barnes & Noble!
