We are excited to have so many students interested in Battle of the Books! This year, we can accommodate 40 elementary school teams. The number of teams we can accommodate will be based on the size of your district (Refer to the chart above). Please contact your district to determine if your team is eligible to register, based on the allotted team spots for your district.
If your school is unable to participate in the county event this year, we strongly recommend purchasing the books for students to read and hosting your own Battle of the Books. Teachers are encouraged to print participation certificates (available on our website) for students who have read all the books.
Please email Natalia Zizumbo at nzizumbo@vcoe.org if you would like our department to send over Battle of the Books logo pins for you to distribute to your students. The key focus of this event is to inspire kids to read great books and have fun while doing it!
