Battle of the Books is a reading motivation and comprehension competition that encourages students to read more and to explore different genres. Using a modified version of Alaska's Battle of the Books Program, this year a total of 10 books were chosen for students ranging from a graphic novel, to non-fiction, to fantasy. Teams of 2-3 students were formed and a parent or teacher volunteered to be their coach.

Participating in the 5th and 6th grade battle on February 24th were six students on two teams: Daniel Evans, Hailey Lemons, and Elizabeth Rowand were coached by Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Astoria; and Ava Cloonan, MaryKate Cloonan, and Gretchen Dowd were coached by parent Ms. Pam Cloonan. Ava, MaryKate and Gretchen were the winning team.

Participating in the 3rd and 4th grade battle on February 25th were 26 students on 9 teams. The winning team was Anna Cloonan, Miah Metott, and Addyson St. Onge, who were coached by 4th grade teacher Mrs. Leonard. In second place were Cooper Fitzgerald, Aodhan Nevin, and Ethan Hyland, who were coached by parent Mrs. Fitzgerald. The 2-person team of Alexa Kuzawski and Josie Murray finished in third place and were coached by Library Clerk Mrs. Harrington.
