November Homeschool Rollerskating/ Sportsplex Day

Wednesday, November 18 from 1-3 pm will be our homeschool day at the UP Sportsplex. Cost will be $6 per participant and that covers all activities except putt putt golf. Rollerskating, bounce houses and slides, and the turf will all be included. Children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult. The UP Sportsplex is located at 1110 Wright Street in Marquette. We have been having such large turnouts, that I think it will be safe to say RSVP is not needed.  Hope to see you there!

Junior Ecology

Hi all,

I have an NMU Extension Program Instructor who is interested in working regularly with a teen group to further education in natural biology/ecology, practice stewardship and work on team building skills. 

This is specifically for teens 13 and up. If you think you might have teens interested, please call/email/ text me how many. Also, if you are interested in attending the brainstorming session (TBD), please let me know.

Please feel free to extend this invitation to anyone else you might know who is not on this list, but be aware that sessions will occur during regular school hours.

I'll also be putting together a less formal "Nature Crew" for the 8-12 range - so feel free to email me any kids in that range who might be interested in this as well.

Just gauging interest at this point.

Thanks!

Tubing Party Update

Hey Everyone,

What a great response to the tubing party!  We have gotten enough families signed-up right now that I am going to have to close the sign-up and start a wait list.  There will probably be families who have schedule conflicts and I may be able to open it back up.  If I get a lot of people on the wait list I can help someone plan another tubing day.  I am sorry to have to do this, but only so many people can use the hill at one time. Not much fun to pay to stand in the cold.

Thanks,
Melissa

PS. Wait list starts after 10:30pm, Wed. Night 

November Mom's-Only White Elephant Party

Our next Mom's-only get together will be Monday, November 16 at 6:30pm. Since December gets busy with holiday events, this will be our Nov/Dec get together and we will be doing a white elephant party. Please bring a white elephant gift to exchange!

Homeschool Tubing Party

A homeschool tubing party has been scheduled at Al Quaal for January 29, 5-8pm.  I know it is a little early to think about snow, but they can get booked-up early so we're going to go ahead and get the ball rolling.  We are looking to get some preliminary numbers of people interested, so we can nail down the cost.

 

Here are the facts:

-cost will be $18-22 per family (depends on total attendance)
-the hill provides tubes and tows you back up the hill:)
-the lodge at the bottom of the hill is included with tables, bathrooms, water, and refridgerator
-we will have hot dogs and hot chocolate; please bring a snack to share.

If you are interested in joining us please email me at mjcchic@yahoo.com with your family name, email, phone number, and number of people attending.  I will be following up with each of you for confirmation in mid-December as I will need payments ahead of time.  (I don't want to get stuck with a huge cost myself.) Please contact me by email with any questions, comments, concerns, etc....
