Students in grades 3-8 are invited to participate in the Winter School Scrabble Tournament hosted by the Woburn and Burlington Public Libraries.
Three rounds will be played following official School Scrabble tournaments rules. Participants should be familiar with the rules of Scrabble and preferably will have played in team format at least once before going to the tournament.
Snacks will be supplied, but we recommend that students have lunch before the start of the tournament.
