Cameron MO coop news
Dear Families,
We are a parent-led, parent-taught co-op that meets once a week on Friday afternoons, from 12:30 - 3:30 pm, for 10 weeks per session, at the First Baptist Church in Cameron, Missouri. While we are a christian co-op, we are not affiliated with any particular denomination. We are a "full-participation" co-op, where entire families enroll, and at least one parent is required to be on-site, helping out in some capacity, during the co-op - we are not a drop-off program. We have classes and/or programs for every age, from infants through 12th grade.
Our fees are calculated at a $20 per family, per semester, plus class materials fees that will vary according to which classes you enroll your child(ren) in. Many of our classes have no materials costs associated with them, and the maximum for any one class is $10.
If, after reading this, you are interested in learning more, in volunteering to teach or help in other ways, or in registering for classes, please, Please PLEASE....join our yahoogroup.
This will be the only individually-emailed announcement about the co-op that you will receive. All further announcements about the co-op will go out through the yahoo group.
To join the group, go to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LEADHomeschoolCoop/
and click on "Join This Group"
and follow the instructions.
I will be posting information on the group in the next couple of days regarding what classes have already been scheduled for this semester, as well as how many more classes we still need, and when registration will open.
If you know of others who may be interested, please feel free to forward this information on.
If you have other questions, please feel free to ask those questions on the group, as others may be wondering the same things, or you are also always welcome to email me directly with your questions, comments and concerns.
Sincerely Yours,
Carrie Bishop

Excelsior Springs Baptist Church is starting a new American Heritage Girls (AHG) troop. For those who don't know AHG's is a scouting program similar to Girl Scouts, but it is Christian in nature. Girls ages 5 to 18 all meet at one time. For most of the evening, the girls break out into smaller groups based on age. This is NOT a homeschool troop. Any girl is welcome to join, but Christian values will be upheld and taught. The program is non-denominational. We plan to have regular fun activities such as camping and the badge work is pretty in depth, so the girls learn a lot. The website for AHG is http://www.ahgonline.org/
If you'd like more info, feel free to email ritarash2002@ yahoo.com Please help us get this information out to people. Feel free to pass the details on to people you think might be interested.**************** ****************************************
Please pass the word along to all of those Home-school groups you are involved with. We are excited about the upcoming fair and we are hoping to offer a few free conferences along with the fair that will help and encourage you.
