It’s time to start forming teams for the Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB)! Hayhurst students in grades 3, 4, and 5 will be hearing about OBOB in their library classes very soon. Last year we had around 45 kids participate and I would love to see even more kids this year!
Here is the presentation your students will be seeing during their library classes. Hayhurst OBOB 345 Presentation

Kids who are interested will be bringing home a sign-up form, but here it is in case it gets lost in the backpack:
