My Project

Our students love the Oregon Battle of the Books! I like to have sets of the books in our classroom so that they are widely available to the students.

It's always great to have motivation to read a diverse set of books!

The folks at Oregon Battle of the Books have done a great job of providing an amazing list of books for the competition. Some of the books are selected by students as well.

Please help our classroom obtain these amazing books. Your generosity is very much appreciated. Thank you!
