Clubs & Activities
THE MARY LIN BIRTHDAY CLUB
Support your school Media Center and celebrate your child's birthday all at once! A contribution of $15 will purchase a new library book to be added to the Media Center's collection. A bookplate with your child's name will be affixed to the book, and he/she will be the first to check it out, in addition to receiving a Birthday Certificate. The library book collection has been recently weeded of worn and outdated books, so the need and room for new and interesting titles is greater than ever! More information and a form to join the club can be found by clicking here.
CHESS CLUB
Mary Lin's Chess Club meets Friday mornings from 7:15-7:45. Now in its 25th year at Lin, this is a FREE club and is supervised by volunteer parent instructors and offers a wonderful opportunity for Lin students to practice and learn new chess skills. Parents interested in volunteering to run or help with the Chess Club should contact TIM KLINE.
MATH SUPERSTARS
Math Superstars at Mary Lin is a math enrichment program for grades K-5 which complements material being learned in the classroom and challenges students to stretch their thinking one step further. The program was conceived and materials were developed at the Florida Department of Education in the early 1980's. The program began at Mary Lin in 1998. Small groups of students meet weekly with parent volunteers. Math worksheets are distributed weekly and students are rewarded for participation. Meetings begin in September for grades 1-5, and Kindergarten clubs begin in January. Contact ELLIOT JONES and/or MELISSA THURMOND.

during the year. Students in 4th and 5th grade may join by application by first come first served policy. There is usually a long waiting list. Contact Bonnie Baker.
