The Hot Cheetos team from Seaside Heights Elementary
School won an Oregon Battle of the Books competition
held recently at the Seaside Public Library.
SEASIDE — Since October, Gearhart
Elementary School and Seaside Heights
Elementary School have had teams of
fourth- and ¿fth-graders reading the 16
books on the Oregon Battle of the Books
list. Gearhart had 26 teams and Seaside
had 30 teams. The books were divided
into three groups of three in school bat-
tles. Cumulative points were kept from
all of the in-school battles, the last being
in March.
The top two teams from each school
met at the Seaside Public Library on Sat-
urday. The Gearhart teams are: the Splash
Bros, Carson Taylor, Caleb Langmo, and
River Quackenbush; and the Sea Ser-
pents, Olivia Esnard and Ryder Ford.
The Seaside Heights Teams are: the
Five Amigos, Jacob Bonn, Coby Riches,
Whitney Brown and Mitchell Smith;
and the Hot Cheetos, Parker Cyde,
Remi Loehr, Petra Alburas and Danna
Silva-Ortega.
Assisting the students were teach-
ers Sena Bergquist and Erica Acton of
Gearhart Elementary; Laurie Dough-
erty, Sarah Collins, Kenna Walker and
Dan Van of Seaside Heights; and Marian
Rose, children’s librarian at Seaside Pub-
lic Library.
Three battles were waged at the library,
two elimination battles and a ¿nal cham-
pionship battle. The results are as follows:
• First Battle: First place, Hot Cheetos
(31 points); second place, Splash Bros (29
points)
• Second Battle: First place, Sea Ser-
pents (35 points); second place, Five
Amigos (21 points)
• Championship: First place, Hot
Cheetos (40 points), second place, Sea
Serpents (25 points)
“Because of this competition, my son
will become a lifelong reader,” one par-
ent said.
The Battle of the Books is a statewide
voluntary reading motivation and com-
prehension program whose mission is to
encourage and recognize students who
enjoy reading, and to broaden reading
interests, increase reading comprehen-
sion, promote academic excellence, and
promote cooperative learning and team-
work among students. For information,
