On Thursday, June 6, 2019, students from both Huber Street and Clarendon Schools joined together to form one team and participated in the annual Hudson County Battle of the Books Competition. The venue for this event was Washington Middle School located in Harrison, New Jersey. Our fifth grade students battled it out with other 5th and 6th grade teams within Hudson County. Secaucus tied for 1st with North Bergen at half time and placed 2nd in Hudson County in the final round. Harrison place 3rd and North Bergen took home the 1st place win!

The Battle of the Books competition is a reading incentive program designed to encourage students to read quality award winning literature. To prepare for the competition, the students selected at least four of 15 books to read and come together in groups to demonstrate their abilities and to test their knowledge of the content within the books. Each student was responsible for reading their books and completing memory joggers to prepare for the battle. The completed memory joggers were typed and shared via Google Docs to ensure all 15 books were covered for the team. Teams received five points for answering questions with the correct book title and three points for the correct author for an eight point maximum per question. The competitors of this year’s event scored a Hudson County all time high.
