Donations for Connie Maxwell Home
From Amy Fitzgerald –
For a second year in a row, we, as a family, are unable to attend the Crossroads trip with the boys and we would like to help in some way. 
After searching the website for the Connie Maxwell Children’s Home I had an idea how those of us here at home could still do our part as our teenagers serve the home this weekend. I found a list of needed weekly items and thought as a group we could find some of these items around our homes or during a quick trip to Wal-Mart to donate when our children go there this weekend.
I will be collecting the items this week or you may simply bring them to the Friday departure (3pm at CBC). I know this is short notice, but I think our gifts could still be a blessing to those at the Connie Maxwell Home.
If each family could donate even one or two items from this list, it would be quite a blessing. If you will not be there on Friday to drop off, I will be at church Tues-Wed for Stanford testing, church on Wednesda y night, and at the drop off for the trip on Friday. Thank you in advance for your help.
I have attached a list of the weekly items they need the most: http://www.conniemaxwell.com/Helping/Groceries/2013grocerylistgeneralr.pdf
Spanish
This came through my e-mail; just passing it along; “caveat emptor”!
Do you need a Spanish curriculum for your co-op classes? Spanish for You! grades 3-8 is a curriculum designed specifically within a homeschool co-op environment. It allows you to teach class once a week for an hour and assign homework in between with ALL the work done for you.
It is inexpensive and fun, and can be taught by anyone whether they know Spanish or not. Material is presented through interesting themes, and one theme can be used with all grades during the same year. This streamlines the teacher’s work and allows for students of multiple ages to practice at home together.
Also, students with no Spanish experience can be placed in a class with experienced students of their same grade at the beginning of a school year. Experienced students continue to progress while new students are seamlessly integrated.
If you would like to know more about Spanish for You!, please visit my site, www.spanish-for-you.net. Or feel free to contact me via e-mail at support@spanish-for-you.net. Also, Spanish for You! can be used at HOME independently.

Feedback Please!
As we plan and pray for the next school year, I am interested to know your thoughts on the monthly fellowships.
Were they a help/encouragement to you? Did you like the focus on encouragement rather then “training”? Is there anything you would like discussed/addressed in a fellowship? Was the day of week/time convenient? Did lack of childcare keep you from attending?
Please send any and all comments to cbcgay@gmail.com
Thanks for your input! Claudia Gay
Official Transcripts
As the end of the school year approaches, I get many requests for official transcripts. Due to Pastor Carl’s schedule and the general “busyness” of this time of year, please allow 7 days turn around time for all official transcript requests!
Thanks for your help in this!

Common Core-Got questions?
I have had quite a few people ask me questions lately about the Common Core State Standards. I am in the boat with you all and doing research as it will affect all children on some level. My husband asked me this evening, “So where did this come from? How did this happen?” It might even be a hot issue in the next presidential election. I am posting a link to a 39 minute video that HSLDA has put out and it is well done and very thought provoking. Grab yourself a cuppa and watch to the end. Being a home educator, I love what Paul Horton, Wayne Brasler, and Michael Farris have to say at around the 20-something minute mark. Pray for our nation’s leaders. Pray for wisdom and endurance for our state governors and state elected officials. Pray for continued freedom to educate our children as God directs.
Blessings to you all,
Tammy Waldron
