Black-Eyed Susan Book Awards

It's time for the Black-Eyed Susan contest! The BES program has begun for students at TPMS and for students all over Maryland. Students are asked to read at least three of the ten BES selections to be eligible to vote on his/her favorite book at the voting party to be held in the media center in April. This is one event that gives students the opportunity to select the best books of the year, instead of the adults choosing the top books. Maryland's student selected Define Normal is winner of last year's contest. Click on the link above to find list of this year's selected list of BES books. Happy Reading!
