John Marshall Community High School Patriot Page Turners (Book Club) Compete in the "Battle of the Books" at Ben Davis High School

Patriot Page Turners (Book Club) at the Battle of the Books competition on Ben Davis campus

For the first time, the John Marshall Community High School Patriot Page Turners (book club) competed in the Battle of the Books at Ben Davis High School in the spring of 2015.  Last year, one of the books we read was Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes" to build vocabulary.  Ironically, the Indianapolis Repertory Theatre was offering the play.  Book club was able to attend, and wants to go again this year.

Book club has their first meeting of the 2015-16 school year this Thursday in the media center.  We are planning a field trip to Barnes & Nobles, hopefully, another play at the IRT, and to compete in the Battle of the Books again this year.
