HBOB team members, please go ahead and check with your parents and teachers about this date. The competition usually starts around 9 a.m. and ends early afternoon. We typically leave school by 8:30 and we will be back at school in time for you to go home by bus or car (your usual mode of getting home). As soon as we have more details about transportation, etc., we will post them here and get permission forms to you.
Please, please log in and use the resources in My BOB Team to study and practice! If you are having trouble logging in, please contact Ms. Evan or Mrs. Angela ASAP.
FYI: The ECHS has also purchased a copy of each book and they are on the bookshelves in the Multipurpose room.
Borrow a mix of popular fiction and non-fiction e-books and audiobooks, comics, and graphic novels. This is a shared collection of items from many North Carolina community college libraries and may be downloaded to most computers and mobile devices. A myPittCC email account is required for access.
Students at participating schools read books from a list established by the state Battle of the Books committees and then compete in quiz-bowl-style tournaments to test their knowledge of these books.
