Black-Eyed Susan Program

Readers Wanted!

Do you like to read?  Do you like parties?  Then the Black-Eyed Susan Reading Program is for you!  Tilden students who read at least three current BES nominated books, and submit a Google form for each one, are invited to our voting party each spring. The winning authors receive an award from Maryland schools.  Last year, almost 25,000 students across Maryland voted.  Were you one of them?!

P.S. Even if you don't think you like to read, consider giving these books a try.    I promise, they're good! 

Contact Mrs. Gerard @alexis_a_gerard@mcpsmd.org for more information.


2023-2024 BES Program and Forms

The program has ended for 2023-2024.  Thank you to all who joined in the fun!


To participate, read a total of three of the 2023-2024 BES books listed in the nominee link below and fill out this Google Form for each one. Forms are due March 22, 2024.

The books are available in our school library or on Sora at soraapp.com.  Log in with your  IDnumber@mcpsmd.ORG (not your .net address).

When I see you've got three Forms completed, I'll send you an invitation to the party. 

 We will have snacks and prizes! Stay tuned!
