[aisle] Virtual Battle of the Books

Sat Aug 29 15:17:45 CDT 2020

We've not participated before, but i'm really interested as a way to
encourage reading. Especially this year!!

We are a K-4 school. Should we make it open to just our 4th graders, or
should we try to coordinate with our intermediate school to get 5th graders?
