Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

This is a club for students in my class who are interested in achieving above and beyond the normal classroom expectations.  All you have to do is learn all about the topic, and then come tell your teacher the answers during recess or before or after school.  You can become a 1 star member, all the way up to an 84 star member!   Learning never ends - thank goodness!
