Battle of the Books

CCOE is continuing with the new student event BATTLE OF THE BOOKS! We had the first year in-person, last year was 100% virtual, this coming event will be determined.
 
This is an exciting competition between teams who have read the same 20 books, collectively, and will answer questions in a competition style event to see who has retained the best knowledge of the literary choices. Booklists and questions are purchased from "America's Battle of the Books." 
 
The 3rd Annual Calaveras Battle of the Books will take place in January 2022.
 
For further information please contact Student Event Coordinator Debbie Strand at dstrand@ccoe.k12.ca.us or at 736-6009
