A Word From The Coordinator
|
Freedom
Freedom can bring up many different emotions.
|
|
Sadness-for the lives given in pursuing our country's fight for rights.
|
|
Pride-for the ones who gave all and stood against opposing forces.
|
|
Admiration-for the ones who suffered for our religious freedom.
|
|
Joy-for the right to raise and educate our children as we personally see fit.
|
Excitement-for the freedom we each have to worship our Savior freely and openly.
|
|
May our kids grow to understand that our celebration of freedom is more than just a good fireworks show.
|
Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."

PSP Day-Parties/Skating/Parks

Hi, my name is Allison Hoke and I will be the committee head for PSP and field day this year. We will be starting our 4th year of homeschooling this year with my 3 boys in grades 9, 7, and 5. We love getting out on park days; it is a great time to meet people and spend time getting to know each other. The more people who come the better! We will meet on the second Friday of every month starting in September with our Back to School Picnic. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at all our fun meetings!
