We are a homeschool support group meeting in the Elkhorn and Greater Omaha area to support, encourage and enrich families of homeschooling families.
Calendar of Events
Friday, February 2
Workshop- 11:15am-12:15pm
Nursing Home
We’ll take a trip across the street to Life Care Center of Elkhorn and encourage the elderly people and staff. If you are able, you may bring some cards or pictures to share, and you may bring cookies, if you wish. We may be able to sing a few songs, and will visit a little while. This is a wonderful and eye-opening opportunity to serve others, for parents as well as children.
Co-op Classes- 9:00-2:30
Snacks: Sunni J. (please bring a snack for 40)
Friday, February 9
Play Date – 11:30am-1:00pm
Chic-Fill-A
12310 W Dodge Road (near CostCo)
Come visit, eat lunch or have a snack and let the kids play a bit! We often bring some fun board or card games for those who are too old to play in the children’s area, and usually the adults get very involved in the games!
Friday, February 16
NOTE THIS CHANGE!
Workshop- 10:30am-1:00pm
Valentine’s
**The church needs to have the building on this day, and we will not be able to have our regular classes. It is possible that we can have an extra class on March 30, which is a 5th Friday. Please let me know if you would like to do that. So instead, we will still have our fun workshop- only now we will hold it at the McDermott Farm! We are located at 20940 Dutch Hall Road, Bennington.**
Celebrate caring for one another in the best of ways with us! Families can bring a decorated box for Valentine’s gifts. You may bring cards, snacks or whatever you like to share (not a requirement, though!). Count on 15 families, or approximately 50 children (Note how this is strategically placed right AFTER Valentine’s- check out clearance- I got $100 worth of supplies last year for less than $10!). We will also have some fun activities, games, crafts or stories. PARENTS, we need a few families to think up a little something to add to this event. Please let me know if you have something you can do.
This workshop time is always free and requires no RSVP. You are welcome to bring a lunch and join us to visit after the workshop from 12:00-1:00.
Co-op Classes- 9:00-2:30
Snacks: Malinda B.
