The Young Einsteins is a club designed for students who are interested in exploring and learning more about this world of ours. The club is for students wishing to go above and beyond the normal class experience. All you have to do is learn about a topic and then set an appointment with Mrs. Full so that you may demonstrate mastery. You may become a 15 star member all the way up to a 65 star member. You may choose the activities from the list provided.

The Young Einsteins Hall of Fame will be posted in my room. It will include the name and picture of each student in the Hall of Fame. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see the complete listing of members. Students in the club receive recognition at the award assembly in May. The names will remain posted in my room and on this web site from year to year.
