OBOB

The Oregon Battle of the Books, OBOB, is a statewide voluntary reading motivation and comprehension program sponsored by the Oregon Association of School Libraries in conjunction with a Library Services and Technology Act grant.

Students in 3^rd-12^th grade, regardless of ability, are exposed to quality literature representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoints.

The mission is to encourage and recognize students who enjoy reading, to broaden reading interests, to increase reading comprehension, promote academic excellence, and to promote cooperative learning and teamwork among students. 

At HFCS, students in grades 3-8 form teams led by a parent coach.  The school battles generally take place in February with the top teams from each division (3-5 and 6-8) moving on to Regionals in March.
