On Thursday evening Mrs. Keeley presented the BOB information at the middle school open house. We had a lot of interest for this year. In case you missed it, we will start holding practice on Monday, Spetember 16th from 4:00-5:00. Practice will be held in the library every Monday at that time. Students will come to the library when they are called at the end of carpoool. Once we see how many students we have participating we will break students up into teams and start reading, discussing, and quizzing on books. Mrs. Keeley and I are very excited to coach BOB this year and can't wait to see our new teams.

TTryouts will take place next Monday at our normal practice time and location. Students will be given a matching quiz in which they must match the authors of the 27 BOB books with their titles.
