Alisa's Community Play Group December Schedule & Upcoming Group Discussion


Hello!

With the holidays right around the corner we are looking at a lighter schedule for the Community Play Group this month. Also, with the newly released Auditor General's report on Education and Homeschooling we will be meeting on Wednesday, December 12th for an open discussion. At the bottom of this email is a series of links that may be of interest to those who want to attend this meeting.

In all, this was a great year for the group. I would like to thank each of you for coming out when you could and participating in the activities. If you have any ideas of where you and your kids you would like to explore in 2013, please email me and we can try to arrange it. It is only with the involvement of our community that we can continue to learn together.

Thanks and I look forward to seeing you soon,
Alisa Nguyen

Wednesday, December 5th - 10AM - Ocean Spirit Studio - Card making for Sr. Citizens. We will make approximately 150 place cards for the Senior Citizens to place on their dinner tables through the year at special occasions and holidays. We've done this before and the Seniors really love it. Please bring a favorite drawing/painting medium (we've even used bingo daubbers very successfully). I will provide the cards. Coffee for the moms & dads.

Wednesday, December 12th - 10AM - Port Williams Baptist Church - Upstairs main gym. Homeschoolers information session and a discussion on the recent AG report and how it will affect us. On the agenda will be the NSHEA, HSLDA and the various organizations across the province.

Please forward this invite to your homeschooling friends and invite them to join us.
