What is Hartman's Harvardites?
    
This is a club for students who are interested in achieving "above and beyond" the normal classroom expectations.  All you have to do is learn all about the topic, and then during study time (if all your other homework is done) take the quiz.  You can become a 1 topic member, all the way up to an 94 topic member!  Climb the "Stairway to Knowlegde" through the different colleges.  For every ten topics you pass, you graduate from another college.  You begin in Alexander Middle School, continue you on to Nekoosa High School, advance to Mid-State Technical College, proceed to UW-Stevens Point, move forward to Madison University, press on to Notre Dame, progress to Princeton, continue on to Yale, and finally arrive at Harvard.  Since there is still the possibility of progression, Oxford is being added.  If you "Climb the Stairway of Knowledge" all the way to the top, you can earn some special awards.  If all of the topics are mastered in the categories you can become a Master Historian-Geographer, a Master Scientist, a Master Literary Technician, a Master Mathematician, and a Master Trivial Pursuit Champion.  M&Ms are awarded for every passed topic and prize and certificates are awarded at each college level.  Learning never ends - thank goodness!  Set a goal and we'll see you at lunch.  Good luck and remember to use this site to study.  This club idea come from Mrs. Renz, a fourth grade teacher from Redmond, Oregon.  Thank you Mrs. Renz for letting us borrow your idea.  Just click on one of the topics below to get started.
