My Project

Our fifth grade team had a wonderful time at the 2024 regional Battle of the Books! They showed great teamwork and sportsmanship. This project is designed for fourth and fifth grade students to foster a love of reading. Students meet weekly to discuss and take notes on the books they have read and one team will advance to the regionals in the spring. Teams compete against other schools to build on reading comprehension and sportsmanship.

The donations will go directly toward purchasing the titles that will be part of the 2025 Battle of the Books!

Mr. Deany will only receive his materials if this project is fully funded by August 18.
