All students participating in Battle of the Books must have a completed parent/guardian permission form.

Link to permission form: https://forms.office.com/r/5VY51XemB3

Battle of the Books is a cooperative effort between Evergreen, Finn Hill, Inglewood, International Community School, Kamiakin, Kirkland, Redmond, Rose Hill, and Timberline Middle Schools. This program allows 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in each school to work together as a team and challenge other schools to correctly answer questions about the selected books. The goal is to encourage students at all reading levels to engage in teamwork while reading some of the best in children’s literature. Challenge questions are based on specific and factual information within the books.
