VA Takes on Battle of the Books

Help me give my students an engaging and competitive Battle of the Books experience!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ramsey's classroom raised $263

This project is fully funded

My Project

For the first time, in the 2025-2026 school year, our school will form a Battle of the Books team. Battle of the Books is a competition in which students compete against each other using their understanding of the selected books. We have a lot of interest in BoB at VA and will need multiples of each book on the list.

As we are new to this competition program AND do not have a school library, we need to build our book collection.

We appreciate any help in building our Battle of the Books library!
