Grimsley is home to a champion Battle of the Books Team.
We meet weekly to discuss titles, play games and help each other become the best BOB competitors we can be! Most often, meeting are held during lunch or immediately after school, starting in October. We welcome all readers.
Many of the books are available via Destiny Discover, or in the library.
