The Literacy Legends who won the first round, the School Challenge on February 26th, competed against 12 other Abbotsford Elementary Schools on March 10th.  The Library Challenge, which was hosted by the Clearbook Library again consisted of 3 rounds with 10 questions in each round on the 6 various books.

Unfortunatly the Literacy Legends were not the winning team this round - The Smarties from Mountain Elementary took the win. Congratulations Mountain and to all the Reading Link Challenge participants! Well done everyone!

The Abbotsford Board of Education regularly meets throughout the school year. Agendas and minutes from the public Board Meetings can be accessed through the District's Electronic School Board. Below is a summary of highlights from the meeting. To do our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and for everyone's safety, all public meetings of the Abbotsford Board of Education will be closed to the public and held virtually until further notice. The meetings will also be live-streamed.

These students have been reading and studying the 6 reading link challenge books since before Christmas!

One team from each grade 5 class was formed, Division 1 - The Imposters, Division 2 – Rapid Reading Reptiles, and Division 14 – Literacy Legends. The School Challenge was completed online with the Fraser Valley Regional Library on Friday. There were 3 rounds with 10 questions in each round on the various books.
