Lake Linden School Forest Field Trip – Tomorrow!!
3 to 4 families have responded with plans to attend the field trip on Friday at the Lake Linden School Forest. With that number, it will be OK to confirm the field trip. The cost is $25, to be split among attending families.. which is still a good price.
If you plan to attend and want to RSVP, send a note to (withheld for archive) . If you don't RSVP and still want to bring your kids, just show up… 1:30—Lake Linden school forest- the more the merrier! There will be tree identification books there, but if you have a favorite your family likes to use, you are welcome to bring it. Should be a good time! (The heated cabin will be open for us to use and the field trip starts and ends in there, so even if it is a bit cooler that day, we'll still be comfortable.)
DIRECTIONS TO THE SCHOOL FOREST: As you travel along Hwy M-26 through Lake Linden, make a right turn on 9th Street (Bootjack Road). Drive approximately 5 miles until you see the signs for the SCHOOL FOREST. Turn left and go straight up to the top of the hill. The road will lead you right to the School Forest main gate. If folks google lake linden school forest, they will find the info and a map to the site too.
Piano Lessons in Hancock -
My name is Angela (withheld for archive), and I am a piano teacher. I have several years of teaching experience, and am starting a home piano studio here in the Houghton/Hancock area. I homeschooled for several years during elementary and high school, and I actually taught piano lessons my senior year of high school. I'd love to connect with some homeschooling students who are interested in learning to play piano. I am friends with (withheld for archive); they introduced me to the home educator groups in this area, which is how my email to both of your groups has come about.
I am open to teach during the day as well as late-afternoon and early evening. I charge $18 per half hour lesson, and I will teach out of my home in Hancock. Simply contact me, Angela (withheld for archive)
Sincerely,
Angela
Halloween, Treat Street -

Open Swim at Finlandia University – every Thursday, 1-2pm ($2 per a person; $6 for a family, with possible gym time afterwards until 2:30). We've had an incredible turn-out. Parents can swim too or enjoy some time chatting with other adults. This is an excellent way to get to know other homeschoolers while giving the kids some exercise and group activities!
