Point Vicente is one of the charter Palos Verdes schools fielding a team in the Battle of the Books! This program is a wonderful opportunity for book lovers - and an incentive for students needing a nudge - to read good books and share them with peers!
Battle of the Books is for- 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders who love to read, and for parents who want to see their children reading high quality books.
The next Battle of the Books Meetings will be
January 23, February 13, March 13, and April 10 at the Pt.Vicente Library.
The Final Battle will be Saturday April 29th at Soleado.
