Many thanks to the Maryland Humanities Council’s Maryland Center for the Book for awarding CHS 30 copies of this year’s One Maryland One Book selection The Boys in the Boat. 

The 2015 theme is “Sports: the human drama of athletic competition.” This year's book The Boys in the Boat celebrates the 1936 U.S. men’s Olympic eight-oar rowing team—nine working class boys who stormed the rowing world, transformed the sport, and galvanized the attention of millions of Americans."

Creative Voices Media Team traveled to Glen Burnie High, thanks to the efforts of Andrea Sporre, to hear Daniel Brown give words of wisdom to our team:  think big, develop perseverance, be earnest, put your heart in what you decide to do, build bonds of trust, do not let each other down, have humility, learn to listen & learn from your mistakes.  Most of all, be in the same boat: find your own swing!               

Come in the Cougars Learning Commons, join in on reading this historic and thought provoking title!  Think about it Chesapeake!
