My Project

This project aims to enrich students' literary experiences by introducing them to the NC Battle of the Books competition. This competition encourages a love for reading, critical thinking, teamwork, and camaraderie among students. By participating in the Battle of the Books, students not only expand their experiences with diverse texts but also develop essential skills that will benefit them academically and personally.

With your generous support, we seek to obtain the Battle of the Books reading list, which includes engaging and diverse books suitable for students of various ages and reading levels.

This list ensures a well-rounded reading experience for participants. Your donation will enable us to purchase these books to ensure access to all students interested in joining the competition.

Through your contribution, you will directly impact the educational journey of our students, fostering a lifelong love for reading and learning. Together, we can inspire the next generation of critical thinkers, storytellers, and leaders.

Mrs. Brantley will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 18.
