What is the Panda Award?

The Panda Award was started by several international schools in Beijing with a focus on reading great books in all divisions: lower elementary, upper elementary, middle school, and high school. Each year a bunch of books are shortlisted, and the students read them.  By January, the students involved vote on their favorite book within their division.  It’s open to other students and schools: go here and join the Ning or the Wikispace.
