The Majesty of Folktales, Fables and Factions of Life

Artworks has a grant to pay a professional story teller from Savannah to come in and teach a group of 10 to 12 kids (in 3rd grade and up) for 10 sessions for 1 1/2 hours per session. Then kids preform at a special “Tellebration” event in Nov. at Artworks.

Parents are encouraged to participate and help if needed, or they are welcomed to go to the playground with their younger children.  Childcare is not provided.  Parents most stay on the premises.

The Storytelling class will meet on Thursdays:  Sept 11, 18, 25, Oct. 2, 9, 16, 23, (break for Halloween), Nov. 6, 13, 20.  The “Tellebration” event is tentatively set for Sat. Nov. 22 at Artworks.  The classes will run most every Thursday beginning Sept. 11 from 2:30 to 4 PM at a Beaufort church on Parris Island Gateway.  Please make sure you are committed to coming to the 10 sessions before signing up.  This is first come, first served; space is limited to 12 spots (some are already filled).  Please e-mail the information on the registration form to katieimann@gmail.com to secure a spot.  You will receive a confirmation e-mail with the name of the church.

Are you interested in having your student swim for the Tigersharks? The YMCA is guaging interest for a homeschool friendly practice time for the Tigersharks. 

Nothing develops the skill of swimming like swim team. The Cushman kids have been participating on the Tigersharks since I started homeschooling in 2000. This has been a wonderful thing for our family. 

The time slot will be Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays from 1-2 and will focus on fitness and swim team fundamentals. This is a perfect fit for PE for your homeschool. 

For more details and to schedule an evaluation contact Coach Heather at 843-694-7913 or heatherswmr@gmail.com or via facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/hwbruner prior to September 22nd swim team start date. 

Homeschool swim team specific info is not up on the Tigershark Website yet, but check out the website for the general info.

Members of the homeschool swim team will be eligible to compete in meets if they are members of the YMCA. 

Deep Sigh Equestrian Programs:

At Deep Sigh Farm our goal is to introduce horseback riding to the general public in a safe and friendly environment.   We teach horsemanship from the ground up in all of our lessons settings.

You or your child will learn grooming, care and management of horses as well as the techniques necessary to ride effectively and safely. Horses teach us life lessons in a manner that humanity cannot. Through weekly interaction with an assigned mount our students learn to be self-sufficient, make sound decisions; and become aware of the cause and effect theory of life.

We offer the following options for lessons at our facility.

Homeschool student riding program;

Weekly lessons from 9:00 -10:30 Tuesday groups of 4 -6 riders

Monthly fee paid at the beginning of each month

4 lessons per month                         –           $90.00

Group lessons (3-5) Saturday 8:00, Monday or Friday 5pm. –   $35.00 pp/hr

$75 per person per clinic.

All participants are required to have an ASTM approved helmet, proper riding shoes, pants or breeches and riding gloves. A packet with Signed release and medical information form must be on file before starting any lesson program.
