2011 Bookmark Contest Winner

The Delmarva Shorebirds, class “A” affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, have officially kicked off the 2011 “Hit the Books” reading program. The program is designed to encourage children all across the Eastern Shore to read outside of the classroom. The Shorebirds have partnered with Schwartz Orthodontics and Sylvan Learning Center in order to organize and execute this program.

Sharon, Office Manager with Schwartz Orthodontics honored Yumin-Jeong of Bennett Middle School for winning the Bookmark Contest. “Schwartz Orthodontics is extremely excited to partner with the Delmarva Shorebirds for the program, “Hit the Books,” said Dr. Carrie Schwartz. “We look forward to rewarding the students as they reach their reading goals. We believe that education through literature leads to good oral hygiene and dental health."

Children from participating schools were asked to submit a bookmark design for the Hit the Books program. Each child will receive a bookmark featuring Jeong’s winning design, pictured left.
