Black-Eyed Susan Book Information [1]
The 4th and 5th graders are invited to participate in a state sponsored reading program, the Black Eyed Susan Book Award. Our purpose is to promote literacy and life-long reading habits by encouraging students to read quality, contemporary literature. The selected books that are placed on the state list are expected to broaden the human experience and provide accurate, factual information. The BES Book Award honors outstanding books, chosen annually by Maryland Students.
