My Project

For the past 5 years at Western Guilford High School, Battle of the books has been underfunded. Our students don't have the matching t-shirts, multiple copies of the books, and lunch like other schools.

Our students worked very hard this school year and are now ready to win next year.

I can't order matching t-shirts or lunch through donors choose, but I can order books. Please help me help my students have the resources they need to successfully compete in the Battle of the books competition for 23-24 school year.
