Special Events
2021 EPS Book Madness – Mar. 1- Apr. 2 – Starting March 1st we will be doing our 2021 EPS Book Madness (a.k.a. March Madness but with books) and we would love ALL students and teachers to participate. Voting will occur during Advisory classes. If you have not read the books paired against each other, that’s okay. You can vote instead on which one you would prefer to read. There will be announcements every week giving the results. The bulletin board in the Commons will also show the results. Each week during the month of March we will have a new round until students have voted on the Ultimate Book Madness CHAMPION!
