It's
that time of year again when our kids don't "go back"
to school. Good time for a picnic!
Where:
Fort Tabor Park (AKA Fort Rodman Military Reservation) in the
south end of New Bedford. We'll meet at the playground.
When:
Wednesday, September 9th at 11:00. Rain date Friday, Sept. 11th.
Who:
Open to all homeschoolers & their families, anyone even thinking
about home schooling, and former homeschoolers who want to catch
up with old friends.
What
to bring:
Picnic lunch, blanket, and sunscreen. This is a great site for
flying kites, riding a bike, and rollerblading. There is a paved
walkway that runs the perimeter of the park. If you’re into
Letterboxing, there’s a box hidden here. There's also a beach.
It is a beautiful place. If you've never been there, then come
down just for the view. You can see the Elizabeth Islands &
sometimes even the Vineyard.

A-OK
Homelearners will be hosting a Not-Back-to-School Potluck at a
member’s home in Arlington. Rain date will be Monday, September
14th.
The
location has a large yard with varied terrain where children can
play games or run in a sprinkler. Please bring food or drinks
to share – whatever you know your family will enjoy eating
or drinking. We will provide paper goods and a gas grill will
be set up if anyone wants to bring stuff to grill. We also recommend
that you bring insect repellent and chairs or a blanket to sit
on. If it is warm enough, we will have a sprinkler going, so plan
accordingly. It would be nice if you brought outdoor games –
we have room for badminton, volleyball or croquet if someone has
the equipment. This is the perfect way to meet members of A-OK
if you have not had a chance to do so.
