Greetings from LCHE,

We hope that your home school year was wonderful! Many of you are thinking about what to do next year. Logan County Home Educators would like to invite you to join our support group for the next year. We offer field trips, fellowship, standardized testing,Our co-op meets September through April at Russellville Christian Church here in Russellville. The schedule for classes is available now and class descriptions will be available soon. If you are interested in LCHE support group or co-op, feel free to contact us. Contact information is available on www.lche.org.

Yearbooks are scheduled for delivery on April 18. I know everyone is excited to see how it looks. Lots of hard work went into this effort by the yearbook staff and advisor, Mrs. Jennifer Powell. If you want a yearbook and haven't already ordered one, you may purchase a copy for only $10. Jennifer will be coordinating yearbook staff for next year soon. If you co-op with us and are in the 7th - 12th grade consider joining this group.

The annual End of the Year Program will be May 2, 2008 at Elkton Baptist Church. There will be a potluck meal, kindergarten, 8th grade,a nd 12th grade graduation, and as always various presentations and awards.

An exciting addition to our events this year will be a field day coordinated by Neeley Shoemake. We hope to make this an annual event. So if you like relay races, etc, and want to have lots of fun make plans to attend. This is open to all LCHE families.

The Robotics Class taught by Mr. Peter Galipeau will take a field trip to Ventra Plastics to see real robots in actin on April 29.

LCHE Academic Fair will be at Crittenden Drive Church of Christ on April 19. I know everyone has been studying and working hard on projects. Good luck to all the participants. The day begins at 9:00 am.

Haley Bilyeu won numerous awards in gymnastics this year as well.

Emily Baker has served on Kentucky Child Now Youth Advisory Council this year. She is doing a service learning project collecting items for kits for kids taken from homes that are meth labs. If you can help there will be a collection box and a list of items at co-op on the 14th. Items should be turned in by the 25th which is Global Youth Service Day. Thanks your help can make a difference for a child in need.

Our young people are busy and involved with so many things including church activities and community event, sports, etc. We are so proud of you all. If your child has done something you would like in the newsletter, let me know and I will try to get it in.

Have a wonderful month,

Donna
