I coached our school's Battle of the Books team this year. It was the first time that our school has participated, and I was proud of how well they did. We joined up the beginning of November (the books are released to the schools in April), and the kids read the 16 books by March. We had book review discussions at lunch, and then did our school battles to pick the final 5 kids to represent our school at the regional battle in Roseburg on March 14. Leilani made the final team, and Emilyanne was the standby 6th person in case something happened to a team member. One of the boys quit the team, so Emily happily ended up being on the team.
The kids designed t-shirts and named their team the Cranes.
The kids did a great job. They tied for 11th out of 42 teams, and won both their battles. We are excited and looking forward to next year. (Leilani even wants me to get it started at Kelly!)

Awesome job girls!! Wow, Lisa you are super mom... yw president and volunteering for head of book competitions! How do you find the time?!
Congratulations! Amen to Mark & Shauna's comment. And how exactly do you "battle"? Answer questions about the books? Sounds fun. David's school doesn't do it.
I still can't believe how much time and effort you had to put into that...you are a good mom. It sounds like they actually did very well in the competition. Good work team crane!
How exciting! Tell Leilani and Emily good job!
