Bush Book Bracket

In honor of Barbara Bush, let's determine our school's favorite book!  

Starting the week of April 21, students will participate in the Bush Book Bracket during Technology class. Families may also participate at home and get in on the excitement.

We will start with 32 popular books.  Each week students and families will choose their favorite books in each Book Battle. Half of the books will be eliminated each round, until only two remain!  The winning book will be announced at our Big Birthday Bash on May 29!

Voting for Round 1 will begin April 21.  Families who wish to participate from home will find the link each week on this page.  During Round 1, you will also be able to pick the book you think will be the ultimate winner!  Everyone who chooses correctly will be entered into a drawing to win a prize on May 29!
