My Project

Our Battle of the Books Team loves to read! We meet several times a month to discuss our list of books and are preparing for a competition in the Spring.

With your help, our Battle of the Books team is looking to obtain copies of At the Bottom of the World by Bill Nye and Gregory Mone and a bookmark to go with it.

This is one of the sixteen titles they will read this school year for our club.

Thank you for considering supporting our club! Inspiring students to build a love of reading is so important!
