Grand Battle of the Books Winners
The energy was electric at Burlington Public Library’s Central Branch during this year’s Burlington Grand Battle of the Books tournament. Teams brought their A-game to a fun-filled morning of fierce (but friendly!) competition, cheered on by proud families, enthusiastic friends, and dedicated coaches.
A huge congratulations to Sacred Heart of Jesus (Junior) and St. Raphael (Senior), who claimed top honours in their divisions after thrilling matchups with John T. Tuck (Junior) and Ascension (Senior). And a BIG thank you and applause to all the readers and participating schools that took part in Battle this year—your hard work, team spirit, and love of books were truly spectacular!
Junior Teams: Ascension, Burlington Christian Academy, Charles R. Beaudoin, Florence Meares, Frontenac, John W. Boich, John T. Tuck, Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Anne, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael.
Senior Teams: Ascension, Burlington Christian Academy, Charles R. Beaudoin, Florence Meares, Frontenac, John W. Boich, John T. Tuck, Sacred Heart of Jesus, and St. Raphael.
We can't wait to cheer on our champs at the Regional Battle of the Books Championship against other Halton teams at Halton Hills Public Library in May!
