Black-Eyed Susan Program 2021-2022
The media center is rolling out its annual Black-Eyed Susan (BES) Book Award program. The BES Book Awards honor outstanding books chosen annually by Maryland students. Each year since 1992 the BES Award has been given to one book in each of several grade level categories. After reading at least 3 of the nominated books in a category, a student is eligible to cast one vote for the book they consider to be the most outstanding in that category. Votes from across the state are sent to the BES committee and tallied to determine the winner in each grade level category. The winning authors receive an award and recognize the BES award as an honor bestowed by Maryland students.
The BES reading initiative here at GHS seeks to promote literacy and lifelong reading habits by encouraging students to read quality, contemporary literature. The nominated books are outstanding books that broaden the human experience and provide students with new insights into their own lives. We encourage students to participate, and at the end of the school year we have a special BES party to recognize our outstanding readers. You can visit the dedicated BES page on our website for further information on the nominees for this year: https://gaithersburghs-montgomeryschoolsmd.libguides.com/mediacenter/BES

A Message about Racial Equity and Social Justice
It is important for us to acknowledge the current events that are unfolding in our nation and to support each other in solidarity as we denounce systemic racism, white supremacy, and the escalating violence that has resulted. At GHS our strength is in our diversity, and we want to support our school community particularly during these unsettling times. We would like to share a collection of resources on racial understanding, equity, anti-racism, and inclusion. Click here to view our Destiny Discover collections.
