Hello Everyone!
It’s time for individual photos for the current school year and Lisa O’Brien has agreed to help us out again.
This is for any and all homeschool children from K-12th grade whether they are a part of CBCCA or not.
Photo information:
Where: Community Bible Church, Room 117
When: Wednesday, Oct 8 and Oct 22
Time: 9:30 – Noon

If your child is a part of Kid’s Life you may come at 9:30, but we will be getting them out of their classes during the morning to get as many of them as we can for the yearbook class photos. We will do our best to make sure that they are not all sweaty and hot for their photo. 🙂

If you are not attending Women’s Life, please bring your kids to the church between 9:30 and Noon on those same dates so we can get them into their respective class photo for the yearbook this year.

You are NOT required to purchase any photos that are taken, but Lisa will have order forms available for those who would like to order a photo of their child/ren.

This is such a great opportunity for us to be able to have these photos taken and it is so fun to see how everyone has grown and changed over that past year.

Even if you are not purchasing a yearbook, we would still love to have your child’s photo in there. We were able to get all but 1 last year!

If you have any specific questions about the cost or packages that are offered you can contact Lisa directly with the information below.
Any other questions you can contact myself or Tracy Behrens.

Thanks!

Good afternoon,

All students enrolled in the SAT Prep class during Kid’s Life at CBC were sent an email last week with info about ordering the student workbook that is highly recommended for use in our class. I have only heard back from 5 of the 17 students; would you please check with your teen and let me know if you would like me to order the workbook on their behalf? Cost of the workbook is $19.95.

Most students gave me their personal email for correspondence purposes in this class; Parents, if you would like to be included on the email roster, please contact me at yamarily@yahoo.com.

Thanks a bunch,
Yamarily Serrano

It is in great shape and has very little use. Nothing wrong with it; I just prefer books. It’s not one of the newer kindles but a few years old. Contact me (Bev) and I will give the details. Thank you.

PUMPKIN PATCH FIELD TRIP/CORN MAZE/HAY RIDE + MORE
WHERE: MADRAC FARMS, 580 Ralph Rahn Rd., RINCON, GA.
WHEN: OCTOBER 16
TIME: 11:00 A.M Sharp
DETAILS: $5.00 PER STUDENT/ADULTS
LUNCH: I’m recommending a sack lunch. They do offer a lunch package, but it must be ordered ahead of time, which will complicate things. You’re welcome to call and order it individually, just tell them you’re with CBCCA homeschooling group.
SIGN -UP: Please email coxfamsc@gmail.com with number of students and adults. Please pay by October 8, call Charles Cox for more information @ 476-6868. Thank you.

Please read the following:
Hay ride—Take a class trip through the deep Georgia Woods and around the corn maze. Takes about 10-15 minutes. Classes will try to be loaded together, depending on size.
Corn maze—About 5 acres this year, not to big, but not to small. We recommend breaking up into groups of 5 and trying to see who can make it through the maze the quickest. Takes about 20 minutes.
Hay Play—There’s nothing more enjoyable for a child than playing around in the hay! Please plan on your children getting dirty.
Animal Feeding— A great learning opportunity for those kids that have never seen a goat, pig, or chicken, except on television. Animal feed is included for each child on fieldtrips. A 5 minute walk from the entrance.
Trip through pumpkin patch—We grow our own, and it’s exciting to see little faces when they realize pumpkins grow from a vine. Children will pick up their pie pumpkin that is included in their visit as they exit the farm, not in the pumpkin patch. (The pie pumpkins don’t grow in South Georgia.) A 5-minute walk from the entrance.
Big Slide—New this year is our big slide. Every child will want to take a ride down the 13-foot slide on a potato sack.
Bouncy house— New this year, a bouncy house is included with all admission.
Coupon for FREE visit for each child—Each child participating in a field trip will receive a coupon to come back to the pumpkin patch for FREE during the 2014 season.
Child sized pumpkin (for children only) – Children only will receive a small pumpkin to take home with them. This pumpkin will be picked up at the Entrance/Exit area, not picked from the pumpkin patch. It makes it much easier so parents and teachers aren’t keeping track of 25 different pumpkins during your visit.
Recommendations: We recommend breaking up into class sizes or even groups of 10 when doing a field trip. A great rotation is Corn Maze, Hay ride, Pumpkin Patch, Animal Feeding, Lunch (if dining with us), Hay Play/Bouncy House/Slide. There will NOT be a Farm employee with you to guide your visit, so it is up to teachers/parents to get your group through the farm. We will have employees stationed at all areas of the farm to answer any questions and to assist you and your staff in any way we can.
Depending on your group size, your visit can vary from 1.5 to 2.5 hours. We recommend bringing and wearing your school ID badges while at the farm and that everyone wears closed-toed shoes.

Hey KidsLife Friends,
Just wondering if anyone is interested in helping with the first graders during FitKidz from 11:00-12:15 at Community Bible Church on Wednesdays during our scheduled Woman’s Life meetings.
We had such a large crowd of children last time that I need to split the Kindergarten/1st graders.  I know some Moms like to help for part of the morning and so I thought I would see if there is anyone who is interested in this position. I already have a teacher for the first part of morning (9:45-11:00).   Feel free to call me or email.
Thanks,
Evelyn Owens
