Davis Book Battles is a voluntary reading program for students in grades 3rd-6th. The purpose of this program is to encourage students to read a variety of books of different genres and to have fun competing with their peers. 

Participating students are required to read at least 3 books from a list of 15 books.  Students are encouraged to read as many books from the list as they can. The more they read the more they will know when it comes time for battle. Students who read 7 books will have their picture put on our Wall Of Fame and have colored stars added as they read 10 books, and then 15 books. 

Each student will be put on a team of 4-5 students.  Each team will compete with other teams in their grade level during school battles.  There will be one winning team from each grade level that will move on to represent Canyon Creek at the district battle. 

Starting in October, there will be Battle Meetings right after school from 1:30 -2:30 pm one Friday a month. These meetings are not mandatory but give students a chance to practice battle questions, fill out review forms, collect pins, work with their team and have fun.   

School Battles will be in February/March during school hours.  The district battle will be held at Sunburst Elementary on March 22nd.

The librarian and the School Committee strive to have a library collection that all students and parents consider appropriate. Nevertheless, the District recognizes the right of parents under state law and District Policy 11IR-107 Recognizing Constitutional Freedoms in Public Schools, to restrict their child’s access to materials the parent deems inappropriate. However, parents do not have the right to make that determination on behalf of other parents and students.

A parent desiring to restrict their own child’s access to specific library materials shall submit the request in writing (or via email) to the Librarian at the school their child is currently attending. If the material is a required part of classroom curriculum activities, the parent must follow the procedures for waiver contained in 11IR-107 Section 14.
