Battle of the Books (BoB) is a voluntary, reading incentive program for students in 3rd to 5th grades. Students will meet once a month, October through March, to discuss the different books on the reading list and prepare for the trivia battle. In March, randomized teams will be formed and students will compete in a 3-part trivia battle to test their book & author knowledge.
Any student is welcome to participate in the meetings, but in order to participate in the school battles, students must read a minimum of 8 books (3rd grade) and 15 books (4/5th grade) from the attached list for their grade. All students receive prizes and special recognition is given to those who have read all the books on the list.

DO YOU SHOP ON AMAZON?
Amazon is giving free money to Jefferson!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Amazon Smile is a program through Amazon where they donate 0.5% of the purchase price of all items to the charity of your choice: Jefferson PTA.
Shopping at Amazon Smile is identical to shopping at Amazon with all the same items, so you use your existing Amazon account, and, if you are a Prime Member, your purchases are eligible for Prime just like before. Sound easy? It is!
