Mrs. Robinson

This is a club for students who are interested in achieving "above and beyond" the normal classroom expectations. All challenges must be completed in my presence. The challenges can be done in any order. I have included some web sites that will help you research, but you may use any reference material that will help, such as encyclopedias. You can become a 1 star member all the way up to an 84 star member. Once you have completed 15 challenges, you earn a place on the "Wall of Fame". Good luck and HAVE FUN!
