DVEF BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

Fifth and sixth grade students will be teamed in groups of three (with a maximum of 20 teams per school) to compete and test their knowledge in three exciting school competitions during the 2026-2027 school year. There will be three rounds held in September/October 2026, December 2026 and February/March 2027. Each round has 4 books for students to read and teams earn points based on correctly answering questions about each round's books.
