CCHE Library

CCHE is currently putting together a loan library. We are looking for donations of shelves and books. Please contact me for more information at ccheupdates@gmail.com. Further details will be available in the upcoming weeks as the library is organized.

 

Group Graduations

My son is currently a freshman in High School. He has expressed interest in having a graduation ceremony upon his graduation from school. This got me thinking and I approached CCHE about holding a graduation ceremony at somewhere like the Little Gem. Keep in mind that the parents will still need to be the ones giving out the diplomas but students would be able to invite friends and family, present a speech, etc.

If this is something you may be interested in for your child, please email me with the estimated year for graduation and any ideas you may have about what you would like to see. Obviously, this won't work well if there's only 1 or 2 students but if we could get between 3 and 5 students each year – it would make for a wonderful celebration not only of the individual student's academic achievement but also of homeschooling in general. Please email ccheupdates@gmail.com with any questions/comments.

Open Swim at Finlandia's Pool, 1-2pm on Thusdays ($2 per a person; $6 for a family, with possible gym time afterwards until 2:30). 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! Remember that in order to participate in the Open Gym the child must wear clean gym shoes or socks. Per Finlandia's rules – bare feet are not permitted.

Gymnastics with Jeanie- Friday mornings 9:30 - 10:10 am for tots and pre-school ages 2-3.  Pre-K & K from 10:20 - 11:10 and Grade School on Tuesday 3:30 - 4:30 pm. Classes are pro-rated depending on start date.

Little Gem Theater Group – Meets Tuesdays at 2:00 in Lake Linden at the Little Gem Theater.
