Hi everyone, I am sitting outside the high school in Bracebridge
with my friends Kianna, Tanner (my son) and Daniel. We are here at Battle of the Books where these kids have read ten books (well, most of them have…) and they are competing against other schools. The moderator says quotes from a book and these kids have to figure out which book it came from. It is absolutely incredible and although winning is not everything, so far our team has one 3/3 battles (I had to brag a little). This is something that is amazing and it should be in every school everywhere because whether you are athletic or not, or maybe you do not want to be on the basketball team (although these three are also athletic) there is many ways to have fun, compete, learn and enjoy school. I think there should be Chess, Basketball, Volleyball and Battle of the Books. Hey guys- How do you like being in Battle of the Books? “It’s fun!, It great!” This has been the best day!" I encourage everyone to start a Battle of the Books at there school. You are amazing and awesome even if you are not athletic, you can choose to be an amazing reader. Will let you know how it goes, Good luck team! As a follow up to this video, our team of incredible readers made it to the finals and lost in the semi-final round. But in true VK Greer style, they showed great sportsmanship and are always Champions to me! Thank you for being part of our community!
