Our Black Eyed Susan voting party was a success! 25 students voted for their favorite book and spent their lunch talking about the books while eating pizza. Here are pictures of the 7th (left) and 6th (right) grade voters. Watch out for the announcement of this year's winners, and for next year's books!

Media Center update: The Media Center is closed due to a flood caused by the sprinkler system on Friday, October 21st. MCPS is replacing some of the drywall that got wet, as well as the carpet. Students should hold on to their books for the time being. There are no overdue fines. Thank you for your patience, and we will let you know as soon as we are up and running again!

Author Visit: YA author Terry Trueman visited our school today. He spoke to the entire 8th grade where he read from his new, soon to be published book, conducted a boys writer's workshop, and visited a READ 180 class to discuss the writing process. Signed copied of his books are available to purchase this week in the Media Center, or check out a library copy. Here are some pictures of the event:
