SHHC T-shirts now available!!!

The Yearbook Class is selling SHHC t-shirts!! The shirts will be black with the SHHC logo printed on the front and will be available in all sizes from child small through adult XL. The cost will be $12 per shirt.

This is a sample of the shirts made for the Yearbook Class last spring. It will look very similar to this except that the colors of the logo will be primary colors (red, blue, yellow, green).

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!

Park Day

Don’t forget, we will be having our end-of-the-semester “Park Day” on Tuesday, May 4th at Mulberry Park in Dacula (off of Fence Rd). We’ll meet around 10:30 by the playground for the kids to play and the moms to chat about Co-Op– giving feedback on last year and new ideas for the fall.

Bring a picnic lunch and Co-Op will provide a dessert for everyone. Hope to see you there!!

(p.s. In case of rain, we will re-schedule the date.)

Family Night 2010

Our annual “Family Night” will be held at Blackshear Place Baptist Church on Thursday, April 15, 2010 from 7:00-8:30 p.m.

All families are welcome to attend– participation in the program and/or display tables is completely optional!! Feel free to invite family, friends and any prospective Co-Op members! You may use the printable invitation (link on the left side of the blog) if you would like.

This is always a great way to showcase our children’s achievements as well as a way to encourage them as they continue their life-long adventure in learning.

Christmas Party & Bartering Market

Our Christmas Party & Bartering Market will be held on Tuesday, December 2nd at 2:30.

We will do the Market first (in the Commons building) followed by refreshments in the basement of the Chapel.

If your child/family will be participating in the market, please bring 15-20 items for them to ‘barter’. We will give everyone a chance to see what ‘goods’ are available prior to beginning the actual bartering.

Please bring a plate of Christmas goodies (cookies, brownies, cupcakes, etc.) to share.

We are looking forward to this event! Hope to see you there!

P.S. Don’t forget to bring your Spring registration $$ in order to get the discounted membership rate!

God’s World News

I am considering placing an order for a subscription to God’s World News this year. They are changing to a monthly format. The price decreases significantly with group orders, so if you are interested please let me know by July 31. As soon as I have a final count, I can let you know how much it will be per issue. By ordering through My Father’s World, there is another small discount and some of the proceeds go to Bible translations. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!!
