CONGRATULATIONS! A huge shout out to our Wiley Battle of the Books winners! Elementary school students in three southeast Colorado school districts, Wiley, Rocky Ford and Cheraw, waged a heated Battle of the Books with the help of an ESSER Rural Program Development Grant. 141 students participated from the three districts. Teams were given 36 books to read, though not everyone on each team had to read each book. They then faced off against each other in a quiz show format. The questions started with “In which book” and the correct answer is the title and author of the referenced book. The winning teams proceeded through districts to regionals, which was held at Otero College. More than 100 were in the audience, people the contestants knew, some they didn’t, all cheering at correct answers. In the end, Wiley prevailed, claiming the trophy that will travel from winner to winner in future years. Thanks Mrs. Krentz for sponsoring these fantastic young readers and scholars!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!!

Last week, the Board of Education attended the Colorado Association of School Boards annual convention in Colorado Springs. During the conference members were able to attend breakout sessions around state policy, school finance, process improvement, planning, mental health, and more. The Board finds this conference to be a worth-while professional development opportunity to network and learn new skills.
Good luck, PANTHERS!
