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.
