This is a club for students who
are interested in achieving “above and beyond” the normal classroom
expectations.
All you have to do is:
1.
Learn all
about the challenge topic. So, you might want to head off to the library
or just click on the links below.
2.
Fill out a sheet to request a time to meet with
Mrs. Kelly or Mrs. Hinckley (these forms are on the bulletin board downstairs).
3.
When she tells you - come in during your recess,
lunch break, or after school (A+ students) and tell the answers to your
challenge.
You can become a 1 star member, all the way up to a 144 star
member!
After successful
completion of 24 challenges,
your name
will be added permanently in our class HALL OF FAME chart.
Learning
never ends – Thank goodness
Parents
