This is an optional club for those who want to go “above and beyond” the normal classroom expectations. Use the internet or other resources to find the answers to the questions listed below. You'll earn one point for each correct answer. You can earn up to 100 points. Your V.I.P. notebook will be collected once a month, so that I can add up how many questions you have correctly answered so far.

When you earn 21 points, you will make it on the list of the V.I.P. Hall of Fame, where your name will be posted until I retire. A surprise at the end of the year awaits those who have earned at least Gold status. Those students who reach Platinum status will receive an official V.I.P. Club T-shirt!
