• BOYS READ

     

    We are so excited that BCE will be participating in the 2022-23 Boys Read Book Battle for the first time!  The competition has grown by leaps and bounds this year from 11 participating schools to 47! This initiative is designed to encourage male readers in grades 3-5 to engage with literacy in a fun and collaborative way.  

    Boys will need to read 5 books for this competition.
