Last week kicked off the Battle of the Books at Madison School! The Championship rounds were held and livestreamed yesterday. There were even a handful of exciting down to the wire matches that went into overtime! But our champions have been decided! The 4th grade winners were Mrs. Webb's Book Bosses consisting of Makenna McCormack, Jessa Peterson, Sadie Pratt, Brynn Simonton, Penelope Williams, Serenity Daley and Everly Becker. The 5th grade winners were Mrs. Bushman's Extra Cheesy Cheetos consisting of Adalynn Walton, Carmen Krokson, Brayden Shroyer, Elliot Kahn, Ethan Martinez and Rosalie Moore.
