Battle of the Books day is our favorite day! After a day of yummy food, an inspiring author talk from , and some very intense battles and tie-breakers, this team brought home the win after competing with very strong and talented teams. This event puts the spotlight on books, the joy reading brings, and the readers themselves, and I’m so grateful! Thank you to .limitlesslibraries for an unforgettable day!

6th and 7th graders had a creative afternoon with the amazing staff from .studio ! Check out these handmade artist trading cards-our students traded their cards with ATCs created by folks all over Nashville (and with each other, of course).
