We had our home school association meeting this evening and boy are my jaws tired. Actually my belly hurts due to the ingestion of the most awesome peanut brownies EVER. I love the whole dessert social concept. I really think skipping the potluck was an excellent idea.
Our group is nice, all-inclusive, come- as- you- are party. I really like the spirit of cooperation we have going on. Two of the events we do monthly are a Project Day and a just for fun skating party. The project day has always been my favorite because it gave the kids a chance to show off their work to someone besides grandpa. Along those lines, we are also working on getting a web-based site/newsletter/yearbook/brag board. Kind of like an online refrigerator to hang good work on.
Science club was another topic bandied about. We want to do something for our older middle and high school age students. Anybody have any ideas? I am working on partnering us up with the local college students/faculty. If anyone has run something like this I would love some input.
The number of activities we are talking about really amazes me. We didn’t do much of anything last year for schedule reasons and the first few years were just catch as we can. This year…we are going to have so many opportunities to get together…well, let’s just say no one could dare call us unsocialized.
So what cool things are going on in your groups…do tell while I finish this heavenly, peanutty-filled confection. Nom, nom, nom…..*bliss*
Sounds like a good meeting!
