Battle of the Books
More than 100 students are readers in Battle of the Books, who have each read at least 8 books (for 3rd grade) or 15 books (for 4th/5th grade) since the beginning of the school year. Once a month, the students gather to discuss the books in a fun, lively and engaging format. And coming up in March, Battle of the Books will test our students’ knowledge of the books as they compete in groups. In addition, our 4th/5th graders will have an opportunity to represent Washington Elementary in the District Battle in late March at Beryl Elementary.
Nominations: PTA Honorary Service Award
The award committee is accepting nominations for a 2023-24 PTA Honorary Service Award to recognize individuals and organizations who have made significant contributions to Washington Elementary. Nominations are due on March 1, 2024.
