Welcome to the CMS World Club!
World Club will meet the first three Thursdays of every month during Stretch in my room (210). Everyone who is interested in Geography or just learning more about our world is encouraged to come.
Congrats to Tine! As a 7th grader at CMS, Tine won the 2011 National Geographic Bee today at National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C. Tine received a $25,000 college scholarship, a lifetime membership in the National Geographic Society, and a trip to the Galapagos Islands! Watch Tine answer the final two questions asked by "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek - Click here to see the video!
