Congratulations to the Blue Crew!! Their team won the school's 2nd ever Battle of the Books. Students in 3-5th grade formed teams, read from the list of 20 Bluestem nominees, and voted for their favorite book. Votes will be counted across the state to select this year's winning title for the Illinois Readers' Choice Award. Special recognition goes out to all the teams. Included is a photo of the Blue Crew(Annabelle and Autumn). Read on!!
