Book Bee is a club designed to excite students about books and reading. Participants are exposed to a rich variety of reading, and to some popular works as well as some quality literature of various genres by both well-known and lesser-known authors.
Grade level teams compete in three rounds, with the top teams moving through each of the rounds. Team practices are held after school and the competition begins in early March.
