We will take our final battle on Tuesday, February 23rd during 3rd hour.

Best of luck team!!!

BOB Picture & More!

The BOB picture was today, but since a few of you couldn't make it, we'll take one later in the LMC with our entire team.

Don't forget to take one (or two--your choice) tests by Wednesday, Feb. 17th. The scores from these tests will help us determine who will be on the final battle team and who will be alternates.

We will take the Final Battle during 3rd hour on Tuesday, Feb 23rd, with a snow date of the 24th. As usual, we'll treat ourselves to a lunch feast immediately after the battle. I will get pink slips to you next week.

If you haven't had a chance to check out Moodle, please take some time to familiarize yourself with the program. It will give you a sneak peak of the format of the actual battle. Don't forget to start memorizing authors and titles--correct spelling counts!

Book Titles and Authors

Having difficulties memorizing the book titles and authors exactly like they will be on the final test?

Check out this flashcard practice for authors and titles! Thanks to another advisor, Sandra Hansen, for creating and sharing this resource.

Book Discussion!

The Lunch Bunch book discussion of Dear John by Nicholas Sparks will take place this Thursday during lunch in the LMC classroom. Come talk about the book before it hits theaters this spring!

Bring your own lunch and snacks and hot cocoa will be provided.

Book discussions are fun, informal meetings where we talk about everything books! All students are invited to attend.

Hope to see you there!!

Book Discussion Today!

December's lunch book discussion will feature the books of your choice. Come to the LMC classroom today during lunch and share your best-bets! BOB members are especially encouraged to attend because we will have NO meeting this month!

*Bring your own lunch. Some snacks will be provided.

Hope to see you there!

Our January selection is Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. Listen for the announcements after break for a specific date.

Read the book over break, come to the discussion in January, then go see the new movie...sounds like a plan to me!

Snow Day!

Due to yesterday's snow day, our meeting will have to be rescheduled. It will not work for me to have it next week Wednesday the 16th--Key Club meets that night--and with all the extracurricular clubs meetings, I think that it will be difficult to have it during 6th hour before the holiday break. Is there a day that works better for you to come during 6th hour or would you prefer a lunchtime meeting?

For sure, the 17th would not work during lunch--book discussion that day! What are your other ideas?!? Please post a comment!!
