North Star Independent Homeschoolers

News for August 2008

We are very excited and pleased to announce that our group is growing and offering more than ever!  In addition to what we already offer, we have many new things for group member families this year, all if God wills, including:

*A band for group member children ages ten and up! 

*Scripps National Spelling Bee participation!

*Monthly German classes for children of all ages!

*Once-a-month structured activities for families!

*Once-a-month "hangout" time for families!

*A Downhill Derby race next spring!

*A yearbook and the learning experience of putting one together professionally!

*Local Science Fair participation!

*Homeschooling "How to" Classes for group member Mommas!

As always, all that our group offers remains free.  Participation in our band does require each participant to have an instrument and a beginner's band book for it, but the participation in the band is 100% free!

Our blog offers information on local, state, and national homeschool related issues and happenings.  Please feel free to check it out!
