Battle of the Books Registration Now Open!
11/20/2025 11:08 pm
WSF is proud to bring Battle of the Books to Wicklund Elementary for it's 7th year! This amazing program is free and open to all 2nd through 8th graders currently enrolled at Wicklund Elementary.
The event is simple! Form a team, read through your grade-level group book list, and come prepared to answer questions about the books! Questions are always asked in a manner that require the title of the book and author as the answer. Depending on the size of the groups, there are multiple rounds culminating in a final battle of the top teams to determine the winner for each grade-level group. This year, we are excited to share that our winning team in each grade-level group will go on to battle the winning team at Altamont, Bethany, and Questa!
Battles will take the week of April 20th through 24th. Until registration closes on January 31st, we will not be able to finalize the battle schedule. The district battle will take place on Monday, April 27th, with the top team in each grade-level group from each participating site battling it out for bragging rights. Once registration closes, we will look at the number of teams in each grade-level group, work out the schedule, and post it here for everyone to see. You can see this year’s book lists HERE.
Registration is now open for this year’s battle. You can register online HERE. Registration closes at midnight on January 31st and absolutely no exceptions will be made, as it will impact our battle schedule.
