Camillus Middle School Battle of the Books
On Thursday, March 20, 2025 Camillus Middle School held its annual Battle of the Books Final Four Competition. West Genesee participates in the CNY Battle of the Books which takes place across four counties.
The CMS competition began with 9 teams reading 8 novels over the course of several months. Students not only had to read the books, but also strategize and recall important details. Two initial rounds of jeopardy style competition were held and four teams made it to the finals.
The Final Four teams were Hit or Miss - Mason Tuttle, Zoey Corrigan, Carter Grothier and Keen Goff; The Partners in Crime - Addison Davis, Lillian Madden, Azdha Mundath and Callie Smith; and Sommer Scholar Scholars Part 2 - Peyon Sabene, Sofia Pizarro, Caliope O’Rourke and Chess Kids 2 - Karam Almaletti, Ben Lyga and RJ Schubmehl. After a very intense competition, including 10 sudden death tie break questions, Chess Kids 2 was declared the winner.
They will go on to represent Camillus Middle School at the OCM BOCES Regional Competition on Thursday, March 27, 2025.
Congratulations to all teams who participated as we celebrate the strong culture of reading we foster at West Genesee.
