Amazing Race of Riverside
The amazing race was created out of a love for Riverside's amazing history and heritage. Riverside is not just a special place for us but for our nation. Some of the things you will see within the race are just small glimpses of what Riverside has to offer. While much of this is from a historical perspective, there are a few random fun places thrown in for enjoyment. While the show Amazing Race has people traveling all over the globe accomplishing missions, we will be sticking to Riverside.

Rules
1. If you choose to try to get extra credit please follow the rules.
2. Be careful-Don't go out around Riverside alone, at night, or without parent's permission. Some of the locations are not safe for individuals at night, and parents should accompany or be aware of everything the student is doing. I take no responsibility for anywhere you are going outside of school. Though I have tried to choose places that are safe during the day, safety is a priority.
3. Follow laws-This should be obvious, but drive carefully, do not break any laws, and respect all places you go into, if they kick you out and you can not finish the extra credit that is your fault.
4. You may do this with 1or 2 people. No more than that. (If you choose to do it with 3 or 4 I will just divide the points between you all)
5. You may partner with anyone in any of Mr. LeDuc's US history classes.
6. You may use anyone, or anything to help you. Internet, teachers, parents... the more the merrier.
