April Meeting/Fellowship
This is an early reminder of the April meeting/fellowship scheduled for April 1st at 7:00pm. This meeting will be a curriculum “show and tell”. Bring your favorite curriculum and share with others why you love it and how it has worked for your family.
In addition if you have a struggling reader and/or child who is behind in math there is hope! Tracey Holmes and Sharon Strever will be on hand to “show & tell” the Brigance Test (http://www.curriculumassociates.com/products/detail.aspx?title=brigcibsii) which is a very helpful tool in accessing your child’s abilities.
This test will be made available in lieu of the PASS test on a case by case basis for those students with special academic needs.
Chautauqua History
Did you know that Clara Barton (battlefield nurse and founder of the American Red Cross) was so shy as a girl she barely spoke? Of that she spent much of the Civil War on Hilton Head Island? Or that she traveled across SC to identify the dead at Andersonville prison in Georgia? Or that at age 72, she spent 10 months in Beaufort, SC rebuilding the Lowcountry after the devastating 1893 South Sea Island hurricane?
Find out more at this Chautauqua discussion – because its not just history – it’s personal.
Discussion led by Judith Bainbridge, PhD, professor emeritus Furman University and author of four books on Greenville history.

New SAT!
A revamped SAT is coming out in 2016! Just thought parents of Jr High and Sr High students might want to know and here is a link to free SAT prep by Kahn Academy, which is great.

CBCCA Meeting
Just a reminder that the March CBCCA meeting is this Tuesday, March 4th at 7:00pm. This meeting will be led by Mark & Sharon Mansell and both moms and dads are welcome to attend. I am sure this will be a great time of refreshment and encouragement.
Also, Sue Cerrillo will be available in the church library during the HS meeting if you are wanting to put a family page in the yearbook or would need help of any kind in TreeRing.
This would NOT count towards any of your meeting requirements, so if you need to attend the meeting, please do that instead.
Tracy and Sue will be available a couple more times in March if you can’t make this one.
PASS TEST
The price of the PASS test will be $24.00 per test. I (Kelly Erdel) will be collecting the money this Sunday, March 2nd and next Sunday, March 9th. I will be in the atrium between the 9:15 and 11:00 services. More information about the PASS test can be found at: https://www.hewitthomeschooling.com/Testing/tMain.aspx.
