Subgroups
Clay Homeschoolers is organized into
smaller subgroups so that members may interact with others with similar
goals in various activities. Subgroups vary in the type and amount of
activities offered. Regardless of subgroup affiliation, all members
are welcome to participate in whole group activities throughout the year.
Below you will find a description of
this year's subgroups (2008-2009)
Subgroup 1:
This subgroup led by Laura is a Christian based support group that with
children that range in age from preschool to high school. This
subgroup provides encouragement and building up one another in the
homeschool journey. Also, there is a wonderful opportunity to build
Christian relationships/friendships through such things as field trips,
recreation days, community service projects, mom's night out, and family
day.
Subgroup 2:
This subgroup led by Laurie is in its second year. We are a Christian
based group with about 7-10 families. The ages of children range from
first grade to seventh grade although we welcome all ages. We do not
require that you attend a certain number of events. Our activities
include monthly field trips, park days, special events such as Snow Day and
Breakfast Club. Our Breakfast Club is a monthly meeting where everyone
brings a breakfast item, we eat together and then the students do their
schoolwork together while the moms have our monthly planning meeting.
We also have a mom's night out that we do periodically. Come join us
for a close knit group that has lots of fun together!
Subgroup 3:
This subgroup is led by Kim with activities focusing on opportunities for
learning and fellowship among families with elementary school age children.
Members of this group are asked to regularly participate in activities (at
least one or two per month). The subgroup will offer: regularly
scheduled park days, field trips, mom's meetings (topical
discussions/sharing times), mom's night out and seasonal parties.
Members of this group may also participate in our annual group year book.
This group maintains an active Yahoo Group list/site for ongoing
communication and storage of helpful files and web links.
Subgroup 4:
This is the "low profile" subgroup. This group plans no field trips,
park days or meetings of its own. Members are free to participate
fully in Clay Homeschoolers large group activities that are not subgroup
based (i.e. testing, open field trips, achievement night, etc.) Some
subgroups will open their activities and field trips to the large group that
you are free to participate in. You can keep abreast of all news and
events via email. (By providing self-addressed envelopes, newsletters
can be mailed to members not having email.) Members of this group
generally have their fellowship needs met in other places and only wish to
participate in the large group activities.
