The Battle of the Books (BOTB) team from LMPS (Lakeland Middle Preparatory School) beat West Collierville Middle School yesterday (2.25.20) 74-32 in round one of competition.
The date and place for round two of the competition will be announced by the end of this week, according to Bethany Christy Campbell, LMPS teacher-librarian and BOTB sponsor. Round three will be the final competition, she said.
This is the third year for a team at LMPS. The students practice every Tuesday after school. They won for the County in 2017-18 and were first runner-up last year.
BOTB is a reading incentive program for students in grades 3-12. The purpose is to encourage students to read and have fun competing with peers.
