Young Eagles Program

Young Eagles is a program designed by the EAA to introduce young people to the world of flight.  The program is free, and starts with a lesson followed by a free flight in an airplane.  June 23, some home schoolers will have the chance to take part in this exciting opportunity!  Please note and follow the guidelines very carefully:

-This program is only for children ages 8-17. No younger children will be allowed on the premises during the program.  Parents are NOT allowed to go up in the plane with the children as they often tend to be a distraction.
-Children must be willing to listen/pay attention the whole time.
-You must RSVP as the numbers are limited. I will put up a notification when the class is full.  RSVP at marquettechums@yahoo.com
-We MUST have a signed waiver/registration form for each child participating. These forms can be obtained from Shannon Kemp. (she will have them available at the used curriculum fair for those who have signed up. Otherwise you can pick them up from her at Rob's Cars)
- Any other questions?  You can email Shannon at kemps4christ@yahoo.com.  Or call 486-9900.

Mom's-Only Meeting

Our Mom's Only Meeting for June will be held Tuesday, June 26 at 6:30 pm.  Please email if you need directions to my house. For June we will be having a "white elephant party" with a home school theme. Everyone bring a home schooling item you no longer need/want, wrapped. We will be playing a game with the wrapped gifts and everyone will go home with something! It can be anything from a pencil to a book- you can be creative!  Hope to see you there!

Used Curriculum Fair

June 1 will be the Used Curriculum Fair for Homeschoolers from 6 pm to 8 pm. This year it will be held at Calvary Baptist Church, on Highway 41 in Negaunee. If you have items to sell, bring them at 5:30 to set up at your table. Items should be pre-priced. Work your own tables to collect money and answer any questions. There will also be some free tables for anyone who would like to give away their materials. If you have any questions, please contact Shannon Kemp at 486-8802 (home), 486-9900 (work) or email: kemps4christ@yahoo.com. Hope to see you there!

Mark your calendars June 12, 2012 for movie night!  The premier of The Over-Mountain Men will be showing at Kaufman Auditorium (611 North Front Street, Marquette)  at 6:30 pm.  Tickets can be reserved online www.shilohfilms.org.  Adults are $5, Children under 12 are free.  This movie, a ministry of Shiloh Baptist Church,  was locally filmed across the upper peninsula.   (Please note that parental guidance is recommended for some scenes of mild historical violence. )

Summer Opportunity at the Farmer's Market

Is anyone interested in heading up a table for home schoolers at the Negaunee Farmer's Market?  Bill Brazier said he'd be willing to  let the homeschoolers have a booth as long as someone showed up every week. And the price is very reasonable.  This would be a great opportunity if someone is willing to head it up! You would need to contact Bill at 906-869-4859. He can email you an application. It would be up to you to find people to fill it every week and divide the cost. If anyone is willing to do this, I would be happy to help by passing along information on this website.

Mom's Meeting in May
