Oregon Battle of the Books: News

The Oregon Battle of the Books Committee thanks everyone for their participation in the first year of our program! We're excited to begin another one, especially with another year of LSTA funding support. The OBOB team is currently working with a wonderful group of volunteers on creating 100 questions for each of the books selected and updating the Rules and Procedures. Additionally, the OBOB team met in August to edit/adjust the Handbook/Rules/Procedures.

For those already wondering, we plan to distribute local OBOB questions in late December/early January.

Registration is closed.

Congratulations to our winning 3rd-5th and 6th-9th grade teams:
Pratum Elementary School and Walt Morey Middle School.  Excellent job to all teams in the competitions!

**We need new committee members, school location volunteers for each region, and key people who wish to be in charge of each regional competition. If you were impressed, enjoyed your OBOB experience, please share your time with our committee in planning 2008-2009.  There are smaller and larger jobs!**
