Battle of the Bluebonnets

Our school is amazing!  They come up with all kinds of ways to challenge and engage kids.  In December, 70+ students competed in the Battle of the Bluebonnets competition.  This competition asked kids 15 or so questions from 10 different novels that were chosen by librarians.
