Middle School: Battle of the Books competition: Highlands receives 3rd and 4th awards
Published by Mrs. Edell on Mar 14, 2019

On March 14, two Highlands Middle School Battle of the Books teams participated in a fierce, 10-round competition against area middle schools at Park Junior High! 

 


Congratulations to the PSYCHEDELIC SUPER READERS (Ashlin, Giada, Cali, Bea, and Natalie) who tied for 3rd place, and to LOS GANADORES (Nora, Micheal, Leigh, Addy, Mirielle, and Miley) who tied for 4th place! 

The questions were difficult this year, and six teams (including both of our Highlands' teams) were tied for first place at one point during the ten rounds. All of the teams gave it their all, which is what made for a tight race throughout the competition. On the very last round, two teams--one from Park J.H. and one from Pleasantdale M.S.--answered correctly to move on to the tie-breaker round.  In the end Park J.H. came in 1st place and Pleasantdale M.S. came in 2nd place.  Our teams did a fantastic job!
