MCPS 250th Anniversary of the United States of America Commemorative eBook

The United States is celebrating its 250th anniversary this year. To commemorate the milestone, MCPS will create a districtwide eBook titled “Many Voices, One Nation,” featuring one selected student submission from each school. Students may submit a poem, essay, music, performance, literary piece, or artwork. The completed eBook will be shared with schools and the community in June 2026 before the end of the school year.
