Students from the district's five elementary schools visited Perth Amboy High School to compete in the finals of the annual Battle of the Books. The program provides students with an incentive to read. The battle starts in each 4th grade classroom at each of the elementary schools. Teams of three compete against each other after they have read the same list of books provided to them. Each classroom winner then competes against other classroom winners in their respective school. Finally, each 4th grade team that prevails competes against the other elementary school teams.
This year the Edward J. Patten School team consisting of Monica Santiago, Kristen Vazquez & Leanna Perez took first place in the event. Congratualtions to all who participated! Everyone portrayed their love for reading throughout the competition.
