Black-Eyed Susan Reading Project & Party 

Do you like to read?  Do you like pizza parties?  Well then the Black-Eyed Susan Reading Project is for you!  Every year, librarians from across the state of Maryland select the very best books for kids and young adults.  They nominate these books for the Black-Eyed Susan Award.  TPMS students who read at least 3 Black-Eyed Susan nominated books and submit a project about 1 book will be invited to the party in the spring.

See Ms. Phelan in the Media Center for more information.
