We still have 4 reading challenges left for this school year! There's still time to enter!
Embedded Files
Come to the media center to pick up an entry form and check out one of the books from the display.
Directions
Read at least 4 books from the Black Eyed Susan Nominee list. Click here to see the list or get a list in the media center.
After you finish reading each book, fill out this form. That means you'll fill out this form 4 separate times.
Answer all questions on this form thoughtfully. Make sure to write in complete sentences for the short answer questions.
Hit the submit button!
If you successfully complete the challenge, you will be invited to a Black-Eyed Susan voting party to help decide which book should be selected as one the best books in the state of Maryland. The voting party will include treats and prizes. You must complete the challenge by Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
The party will take place on April 10, 2026. More details about the party willl be out closer to the voting party. See Ms. Natale with any questions.
Our Lunch Program
Our Lunch Program
Come hang out in the media center during lunch! Monday is a mystery activity. Tuesday, we have a rotating schedule of club meetings (see the media center board for more). Wednesday, we're closed. Thursday is game day - we announce the game in advance and you can sign up to play starting the Monday before. Friday, we're cool, calm, and collected for a relaxed lunchtime.
This is what the schedule looks like for a normal week. Sometimes, there will be changes - check the board in the media center to see what's going on that week!

Contests that don't involve reading? We have those, too!
This year we've run a bookmark design contest, and currently are starting a creative writing contest. Last year we ran a poetry contest in April, and a book cover redesign contest. We even have a Connect Four tournament.
