Battle of the Books

Battle of the Books is a program for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students. Students form teams of 3-5 participants. They read selected books then teams participate with each other in a competition with their knowledge of those books to earn points. Teams are coached by staff and family volunteers for several weeks. Teams then battle each other at the school level for a chance to represent Shawsheen at the District-level Battle of the Books. Details will be sent home with students in October.

D6 After-School Sports Opportunities

Practices are run by volunteer coaches and held at Shawsheen after school. Interested in learning more or becoming a coach? Just call the office for more details.
