In Spring, 2020, TCIS Secondary Learning Commons rolled out a new reading program for Middle Schoolers called March Book Madness. The concept of the program is very similar to how they do the basketball brackets in College Basketball’s March Madness. Starting in March, there was to be weekly voting on select books going from the sweet 16, to the big 8, to the final 4, and then to the show and winner. Students would gather in the 3rd Floor Learning Commons to munch on snacks and vote for their favorite books. Unfortunately, CoVid19 caused us to cancel the event. However, there was a great selection of books for reading, and even though we weren't able to determine a clear March Book Madness Winner, if you're looking for a great book, try one of these...
We hope that this year's March Book Madness tournament will be a great success! Keep an eye out for the next set of books to read for Spring, 2021!
