2008-2009 EBOB interest impressive
Fifth graders are VERY enthusiastic about the Elementary Battle of the Books (EBOB) competition this year! Forty-five eager students showed up for the first meeting! Only 12 students are allowed to compete on the team, so the competition will be stiff. Good luck to all Merrick-Moore tigers!
