= Granite District Battle of the Books 2016-2017 Competition Winners = ==May 1, 2017 [|Josh Whiting] ==

On April 13, 2017, over 50 student teams from 18 different elementary schools in Granite School District converged on Gearld Wright Elementary for the first annual Granite District Battle of the Books competition. Student teams went head-to-head in this “Family Feud”-style game, in which their knowledge of the 15 books on the official 2016-2017 reading lists was put to the test. We congratulate all of the students who read and participated in the battles, whether in their school or at the district competition. We thank all of the media clerks, teachers, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">administrators, parent volunteers, and others who tirelessly supported this program and inspired <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">our students to find excitement in reading.
