Sykesville Middle School participates in the Battle of the Books.  We fielded 7 great teams in the 2021-2022 school year.  Two of our teams placed:  The Book Busters came in second and The Scholar Sisters brought home the trophy for first place!  Click here for more information from CCPL.

Sykesville Middle School provides students the opportunity to read at least 3 of this year's Black Eyed Susan nominated books.  After reading one of these books, students should come to the media center to take a simple oral quiz.  Once students have read and been quizzed on three books, their name will be posted on our bulletin board and they will be automatically invited to our voting breakfast in the spring.
