The Young Scholars Club
Home Page
A Club for Students Interested in Learning
This is a club for students who are interested in achieving "above and beyond" the normal classroom expectations.  Each time a student completes one of the challenges, they are to turn it in. Mrs. Dunn will check it and if the challenge is done correctly, then the student will get a star for the Young Scholars Club Chart. You can become a 1 star member, all the way up to an 87 star member! 

Any student who completes 25 or more challenges becomes a member of the Hall of Fame!
