Student Contract Due 1030 I would like to

Student Contract – Due 10/30 I, ______________, would like to participate in the Battle of the Books competition for the 2014 -2015 school year. I understand that it is my responsibility to read as many books as I can on this year’s list. I also understand that the more books I read, the better chance I have to help my team during the end of year competition. I also know that I must read at least four books on the list. If I do not read four books, I understand that I will not be allowed to participate in the end of year competition.
