Winter/Spring 2013 Registration

Registration for the Winter/Spring 2013 semester of South Hall Homeschool Co-Op is open!

Here are the details:

Our meeting time and location will remain the same-- Tuesday afternoons @ Hopewell Baptist Church. If offered, the PE Games period will begin at 1:15 pm and regular class sessions will start at 2:00.

In order to be eligible for discounted fees for lead/co-lead teachers, your class subject must be pre-approved by Wendy or Rachael (please email or call us to discuss).

If you are a current member of SHHC (Fall 2012), all you need to submit for registration are your registration fees. Payment may be made by cash, check or PayPal (links in the sidebar).  Please know if you choose to pay via PayPal, you will see a small addition to your total which is to cover the cost of PayPal's fee.

New families must complete a Registration Form, Participation Agreement and sign a Statement of Faith (links in the sidebar). Please email us if you need the address to send your documents and/or registration fees.

As always, a final list of available classes for the Winter/Spring 2013 semester will NOT be released until after Family Registration is closed. The reason for this is that we do not know for certain all the classes we will offer until we have our finalized list of teachers (parents). If you want to lead or co-lead teach, please let us know a.s.a.p. so you can have first choice of ages and subject matter! Classes are available for children from preschool through middle/high school as well as childcare for infants. Elementary age and higher classes will be available in age-appropriate ranges (typically K-2nd, 3rd-5th and 6th and up). Our parent-led classes are typically enrichment type.

Omni Fair 2012

SHHC hosted its first ever Omni Fair this spring with great success!

What is an Omni Fair? Basically it is a science fair that is not limited to only science projects. The project categories included: science, history, geography, literature and art. Projects were grouped by age and were reviewed or not according to each participant's preference.

A group of four independent judges critique the reviewed projects, and there were first place and honorable mention awards in each age group (3rd-5th and 6th & up) as well as participation awards for everyone. A 'scavenger hunt' was held which encouraged guests at the Fair to search through the projects for answers to questions that each project participant had provided.

In addition , the spring Pinewood Derby class held a race with the derby cars they had made this semester. Competition was fierce but fun! All the kids loved their trophies!

To round out the evening, there was a short program which featured musical and oral recitations from students as well as a set of commercial clips produced by this spring's History of Film class.

All in all, it was a great night for SHHC students and families. We look forward to an even bigger and better Omni Fair next spring!
