Home Front Educators - Events
Friday Arts and Fun
Field Trips
A variety of classes are offered twice a year for a period of 9 weeks each. Classes such as art, music, foreign languages, nature classes, and others provide opportunities for home schooled students to be exposed to new venues while enjoying weekly social interaction. Qualified teachers are carefully selected to provide a quality learning experience. Classes are held the first three Fridays of the month for three months, with the Fall classes meeting September through November and Spring classes, February through April.
Field Trips are normally planned for the last Friday of each month. We offer a variety of activities each year to provide educational opportunities in the arts and sciences, history, occupational or other areas of interest.

Support Group Meetings
Recitation Night
UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
Support Groups are being revamped to better serve our members - more details to follow soon!
Recitation Night provides an opportunity for students to recite or perform before a live audience in order to gain experience in public speaking/performances. Students may recite scripture, poetry, or personal writings from memory or they may wish to perform music, dance, or dramatic presentations. Two recitation nights are scheduled each year, one in the Fall and one in the Spring.
For more information contact the Support Group Meetings coordinators

Evening of the Arts
K-2 Activities
We celebrate the ending of each school year with a grand finale event called Evening of the Arts. Students have opportunities to perform works they have prepared during the year as a class or individually. Each family may reserve a table to display the year’s accomplishments. Members are encouraged to invite friends and relatives to join us as we commemorate the year’s accomplishments.
Understanding the need for younger children to just play together, we have developed a monthly playdate at various local parks.
Families may bring a picnic and just have fun. By doing this students and parents alike will build lasting relationships.
We are currently in need of a coordinator for our playdates.
