Special Activities of
5th Grade
March Madness Tournament of Books
Each March, during the same time as the NCAA Basketball Tournament, the 5th grade hosts its own tournament, the March Madness Tournament of Books! Currently, forty-eight books have the opportunity to participate in the tournament, which has room for thirty-two books.
Every week for five weeks, students, families and staff of Botelle vote for their favorite book in each paring and hope that the book will move on to face a new opponent the following week.
