History Club Goes to the Depot!

Bears, Buggies and Books, Oh MY! 

Last night the History Club had the opportunity to receive a private tour of the Depot and Annex. Natalie and Curt were the most gracious hosts and proved to be excellent tour guides. It was a very exciting night as we discussed plans for a regular meeting night for students to work on real historical projects around the museum and area! 

Check out the loads of pictures below!

A new year means a new HISTORY CLUB!

Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year! Please use this blog for the most recent up-to-date information regarding the History Club. 


What is the History Club?


While I maintain this blog and advise members on the History Club's activities, I can not take credit for starting the club. Originally started by last year's seventh graders, it is a club that will meet twice a month for a variety of activities. 


What are some of History Club's activities?


The Rebel Historical Tribune (a monthly newsletter put out by the HC), History Day Competition, Washington, DC trip, and (hopefully) a variety of field trips to name a few of the HC's activities.


Who can be in the History Club?


Anyone! Since the HC is officially a club, members must be consistent in coming to meetings and participating in various activities. Students can even letter in the HC!


When are meetings?


Meetings will be held on Fridays, twice a month. While Miss J will try to schedule them on the second and last Friday of the month--this may change. Check the HC Bulletin board for updates and official dates/times.


When is the first HC meeting?


FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 AT 8 AM IN ROOM 104 (MISS J'S ROOM)
