Your school is invited to bring one team of each 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students to compete against other schools in January and February for the Grand Battle held at the Loveland Public Library.  Teams are comprised of 5-7 students.

Because we need time to schedule battles and prepare, we would like to know how many teams we will have by October 4, 2019.   Team intent to participate in BOB form.
