Gearing up for September

Alas, summer has come to and end, and we will soon be heading into September. The Robotics club starts this week on the 23rd, the LEAP co-op starts September 3rd, and the LOL co-op starts on September 5.

We are very excited about this year's programs. Beth Thompson and Barbie Johnston will once again be coaching a First Lego League (FLL) Robotics team, building on what they learned last year. Last year the FLL robotics team, the SCIENEERS, won the 2012 WV State Championship and traveled to the World Festival in St. Louis. Will the SCIENEERS win again? Stay tuned...

On Tuesdays, there is a new co-op focused on ages 4-8 called LEAP (Learn Explore And Play). LEAP Day Co-Op is an educational, fun and supportive group. We envision a place where we can come together, have our children learn and socialize and also get family/homeschool support, positive encouragement and maybe even make a new friend. We hope to incorporate holiday-themed activities, plan an evening Art Show, family picnics and other activities involving the community (Adopt an Angel(s)/family, etc.), Mom’s Nights Out and curriculum support meetings, just to name a few.

Learning Out Loud! is a cooperative-style weekly enrichment program serving a diverse group of home-schooling families. LOL! meets the first three Thursdays of each month during the school year at the Songbird Learning Center. We invite you to schedule a visit to see how we function.
