Smith School hosted the Intra-School Competition for Battle of the Books earlier today! Battle of the Books is a Trivia Competition for students based on a predetermined list of 15 books. Since October, student teams of five have read the books, discussed them, and held meetings to practice quizzing each other on the contents. This is the 13th year that Smith School has had a participating Battle of the Books team, and this year the first-ever formalized in-school battle at Eric S. Smith School! Next week, students will travel to compete in the County-Wide battle at Cavallinni Middle School. In the 6th grade, our winners were "The Smarties": Emma Latorre, Emily Al-Ola, Elena Oppenberg, Kudrat Kaur, Henry Ardito. And in the 8th grade, our winners were "Team Two": Lin Miao, Lila Yakata, Summer Goodfellow, Ellie Thumm, Dylan Lagomarsino.
Special shoutout to Mr. Sirota & Mr. Rockefeller for acting as judge & timekeeper for today's event and to Ms. Kelly as the advisor of the club.
