What an incredible achievement for the Western Alamance Middle School Battle of the Books team, securing an impressive second-place finish at the Region 5 Competition! 📚🏆 Your hard work, dedication, and love of reading have paid off. These students read 20 books throughout the year and prepared by spending many hours immersed in the stories, memorizing key details. During the competition, they have to identify the books based on extremely specific questions, naming the title and author as the answer. Special thanks to Coach Paige Ysteboe, Media Specialist, for her leadership and support! #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
