“You have to stay dedicated and work as a team. We learned this year to appreciate each other’s differences,” said Inscore. The annual competition was made possible by the support of district staff and lead by Susan Pope, Digital Teaching and Learning Coach. She expressed that the competition this year was stronger than ever. “The Battle of the Books team members simply amaze me. They read 15 books, many several times, and are able to recall tiny details for those books. This year the range of final competition scores were closer than ever,” said Pope.
