PTA Events & Programs
Battle of the Books
Battle of the Books is a voluntary reading incentive for the 4th and 5th grade students of SF Intermediate School. This is an extra-curricular reading program where students can show their creativity and scholarly knowledge, forming reading teams to "battle it out" in a team-based contest testing students' comprehension of the novels which were read. Families are welcome to come and cheer on their favorite team, and see who is crowned the best of the books!
