Also, bring cardboard if you have any around. This is good for building the
houses on.

All Saints Day Party
We will be holding the annual homeschoolers All Saints Day party on Saturday, Nov. 1, starting at about 2:00 pm. Because the feast day happens to fall on a Saturday this year, it is a great opportunity for dads to attend as well. Children (and adults, for that matter) are all welcome to dress as saints. We usually group the children together by age and have them take turns giving the group a clue about their saint, and the children guess who it is.
Hot dogs and all the fixin's will be provided, but families staying for dinner should bring a side dish, dessert, paper supplies, or beverages.
E-mail Jordana Adams (adamsjct at gmail dot com) for further details and information.

prepare a sauce for pasta, just bring it in your crock-pot.
Following are categories in which your entry may or may not be judged:
--Most Authentic Marinara
--Best Vodka Sauce this Side of the Tiber
--Just like Mama Bonvissuto Used to Make
--That's Italian
--That's Amore
--Three Day Bellyache
Of course you don't have to compete. You can just come with your
family and eat and visit.
When: Saturday, Sept 13
Who: All homeschoolers and those interested in homeschooling are invited.
Contact Jordana Adams (adamsjct at gmail dot com) for further location and time details.

They will be subjected to the rigorous scrutiny and demanding standards of the pickiest eaters in the world: OUR KIDS.
After the delightful dinner we will all prepare, our children will play quietly together like angels, and we adults will have a little planning session for the upcoming school year in the MARCH group. So bring your ideas about what events you would like to see us offer. And bring your calendar.
