Gaming Club
Gaming Club was a blast! Bowen Dilks-Hicks had the highest grades on his grade sheet and won a Gaming Club hoodie. Way to go, Bowen! It's not too late to join! Club runs from 4:00PM - 5:30PM. The next club is Wednesday, March 30th in the FJH library. The cost is $100. We do have a few spots made available for kids who need financial assistance that makes club free of charge to them. They just need to have teachers fill out a grade sheet and return it to Mrs. Melling. All kids are required to have teachers fill out a grade sheet - no D's or F's, no missing work, no behavior problems. Games include NBA2K, Madden, FIFA, Rocket League, Super Smash Bros., and Mario Kart. Championships will be held in May for top gamers in Indianapolis. Come join us! Game on!
My Energy Kit Classroom Challenge
