2010 Battle of the Books Champs!

I'd like to congratulate the winners of this year's Battle of the Books competition in Highlands Ranch. All of the teams worked so hard, and it's a shame that only one team per grade level can win! But, every competition must have a winner, and this one is no exception. The champions of this year's Battle of the Books are:

3rd/4th Grade - Heritage Elementary

5th/6th Grade - Academy Charter School


A big enormous THANK YOU to all the coaches who did so magnificently with their teams this year! You guys are what makes this program amazing, and it has been an absolute pleasure working with you all! See you next year!

Battle of the Books Survey

Please take a moment to follow the link and take our Battle of the Books feedback survey. Elizabeth and I would like to do our best to make sure next year's event is even better, but to do that, we need to know what worked and what didn't. The survey is short, and it's located here (you'll have to cut and paste):
