Meeting News, a New Class and How to Join HVHE!

Hello, everyone - I hope you're having a great start to your school year! We started a couple weeks ago, but kind of eased in, taking a few days off here and there. But the (slight) chill in the air and the (few) falling leaves make me thing of pencils and notebooks, so I'm ready to go!

OUR LAST MEETING:
We had a good meeting, Sunday afternoon. We had six moms in attendance, along with two great kids :) Most of the kids who would usually have attended were home sick, including mine, so hopefully they will be able to make it to the next meeting. It was wonderful to meet some new people, and hear some new perspectives, along with catching up with old friends. We spent a little time telling our stories, and amazingly not one of the six of us came to homeschooling quite the same way. We also ran the gamut of curriculum and methods, but everyone was ready to share, and to help. I am so grateful, because that is what this group is for! To help and support others who are on this amazing, exciting, (can I say frighening?) journey.

OUR NEW CLASS:
I would like to invite you (well, your children) to a class about Elections. It will be held at the Millbrook Library starting next Thursday afternoon at 2:30. The class will be once a week, running through the Presidential Election in November. If you are interested, please fill out the Contact Page by Friday, September 7 and I will get the information to you.

OUR NEW MEMBERSHIP FORM:
Lastly, I would encourage you to join our group.  Several of you have attended our meetings, and we hope to see more of you in the future.  But we would like to be able to support each other between meetings, too.  I've included a page on this blog called HVHE Membership.  It is a form to fill out if you would like to be part of our group.  The information you submit on the form will not be published on this blog, as it is public and we respect your privacy.  However, I will compile everyone's information into a single document and e-mail it to those who wish to be members.  That way, we will all be able to contact each other for support, or maybe just to get together for a day at the park!  For anyone who has given us information at a meeting, I ask that you still fill out the form so that I am sure you want your information given to others.

I will make one more request.  If you know someone in the area who is interested in homeschooling, please forward them the link to this blog!  We want to reach as many people as possible.  Thanks a lot - and Happy Schooling!  - Robin
