My Project

In the 2023-2024 school year, our elementary school formed it's very first Battle of the Books Club! We had the best time learning the ropes of being a new club all while building our love of reading.

Next year, we want to continue with this club with our fourth and fifth grade students!

Our students will be responsible for reading the 16 books on the NCSLMA list to prepare for the district competition. By helping to fund 8 of these books they will only have to find the other eight on their own.

Thank you for considering a donation to benefit our eager readers!
