Empowering Minds: Fueling Our Battle of the Books Club

Help me give my students supplies for our school's Battle of the Books Club!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Trass's classroom raised $494

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are so excited to have our second Battle of the Books Team at Cornelius this year! Last year we learned a lot as we navigated this newly formed team at our school. This year, we are going in with a new level of excitement as we take our team of readers to the next level!

This project will provide our team with a copy of one of the books for each team member, binders and dividers to collect information that they will study from for the competition, and bags to decorate that will house their club materials.

Thank you for considering a donation towards our CES Battle of the Books Club!
