This is a club set up for students who are interested in achieving "above and beyond" the normal classroom expectations. All you have to do is learn about the topics on your own. You can go to the library or do some research at home. You may earn a star by learning about a topic of your choice and then copying down the information in your "All Star" notebook—a notebook of your choosing. You will earn 1 point for each topic. You can become a 1 star member all the way up to a 100 star member. Once you show me your notebook with the information, you will receive a sticker for your notebook and one to put on our "All Star" chart in the classroom. Please record the activity number that you chose on the upper right hand corner of you paper and include the date on your paper as well. Notebooks will be checked on Fridays.
You will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at 25 stars.
25-49 stars: Bronze
50-75: Silver
76-100: Gold
