Summer Art Camp Week

An Art Sculptures Class with Elizabeth Howe will be held June 24-28 from 1-3pm at Calvary Baptist Church in Negaunee. 

If you have already responded with the names and ages of your children, you do not need to reply as I have them registered. However, if you have not RSVP'd and would like to take part, please email me the names and ages of the children participating.  

Please take note that this is not a drop and run event.  Parents are to be responsible for their own children, and siblings who are not participating are not to be running around unsupervised.  Parental involvement and help is encouraged during the class.

For those participating in the class, Elizabeth would like the kids to begin looking now for objects they can turn into a sculpture. She encourages everyone to "think outside the box".  Also, if you have paper tubes, please start collecting them for the class.

Cost of the class will be posted soon.

Self-Defense class

Anyone interested in a self-defense class for parents and their homeschoolers ages 10 and up, please email me for more details. Girls and boys classes would be separate.  Your response would be appreciated by next Wednesday (May 1).   Email me at marquettechums@yahoo.com.

Art Class Survey

For those interested in art, Elizabeth Howe is willing to offer some more classes for homeschoolers.  In order to figure out a schedule and what to teach, I need some input from you as we work it all out.  There are many types of art classes she can teach, some of which do not require the Drawing and Color Theory she did last year.  So even if you haven't taken art from Elizabeth before, you may be able to participate in these next classes, depending on what type we decide on.

First, let me know what art classes you'd be interested in. Elizabeth suggested the following:
Sculptures, painting, china silk, mix media, fiber art.

Secondly, she'd like the number and ages of kids interested.

Thirdly, what do you feel about summer camps? She could do classes during the summer 2 hours a day for 5 days, rather than once a week.

Please email me at marquettechums@yahoo.com ASAP and I will contact Elizabeth with the results so that we can move on with our planning.  Thank you!
