On this page you will find a brief description of the Social Events hosted and coordinated by Homeschoolers Hearts and Hugs. (these are in addition to our annual Valentines, Easter, End of School and NOT Back to School events) These events are open ONLY to current Homeschoolers Hearts and Hugs members. (for social events open to non-members of Hearts and Hugs, please see "Homeschool Happenings")
Some Social events will be in conjunction with, or immediately before or after a field trip or volunteer project, while others will be "stand-alone" events. Please note, we sometimes schedule "last minute" social events as opportunities become available, especially during the summer months.
Because many socials take place outdoors, it is necessary to schedule them only a couple of weeks in advance, weather permitting. During the very hot/cold/rainy months, we sometimes meet at fast food locations that have indoor playplaces.
We also offer a Teens/Pre-Teens Social/Activity the last Tuesday of each month. Though the activities are geared to the teen/pre-teens, younger children are welcome to attend with their older sibling/s. Members can stay up-to-date on each month's planned activity through our members-only YAHOO loop.
When signing up for field trips, volunteer activities or social events please include your FULL NAME, contact information and number of adults and children attending, INCLUDING THEIR AGES. It is very important that you RSVP to ensure you are notified in the event an activity has to be rescheduled. Since the majority of our activities require we confirm the number of participants prior to the event, please abide by sign up deadlines.
Social Events are open to Hearts & Hugs members only.
FEBRUARY 2012
We hope you will join us for our 5th annual Valentine Pizza Party and card exchange!
We will have a Valentines card exchange as well as some board games set up for the children. In addition to the board games, the pizza parlor has a game room with various arcade games and an air hockey table. (additional fees) Parents and children alike can "stuff" themselves on the all you can eat pizza, salad and pasta buffet! And don't forget desserts of brownies and cinnamon rolls, too!
We'll also have cookies available for the students to decorate.
Please contact us for more information, or to sign up! We're looking forward to seeing you and your family there! Weather permitting, we'll be meeting at the Forney park for a picnic lunch and some playtime prior to our gardening class/field trip. (see FIELD TRIPS page for more info.)
We hope you and your family will join us!!
Deadline to sign up is February 21st! MARCH 2012
It's time for our annual Easter Social! Gather up the kids, a picnic lunch, the Easter baskets and some boiled eggs and join us at the Forney Community Park for some Easter egg dying, an egg hunt and some fun and games! We will also have a Resurrection Egg presentation!
In addition to the playground equipment, the park also has a basketball court, a sand volley ball court and walking trails that are perfect for older siblings and/or parents! Be sure to take along basketballs and/or volley balls!
Deadline to sign up is March 16th! APRIL 2012
Check back a little later for all the details! MAY 2012
Join us for our annual End of School Bash and Meet 'n Greet scheduled for May 18th at the Forney Community Park! This will be a "come and go" event, beginning at noon, so drop in at your convenience---or come and spend the entire afternoon! (we'll probably be there until around 3:00 p.m.) The park is located at 241 S. FM 548. (between the intersection of FM 548/FM 1641 & FM 741, just off HWY. 80)
There will be fun for everyone! Bring your picnic lunch, some lawn chairs or blankets and your favorite lawn games, bubbles, balls, board games, ect. The facility has a playground as well as volleyball and basketball courts, so if you have equipment, take it along! There's also a splash pad with fountains! (hopefully, it will be open)
The kids can play while the parents have some time to relax and visit with other homeschooling families under the shade of the pavilion.
We will have free convention bags, literature, homeschool magazines and homeschool catalogs free to all visiting families, while supplies last. We will also be accepting new member and renewal memberships for the 2012-2013 Hearts and Hugs year.
This event is open to EVERYONE, not just Hearts and Hugs members. This is a great opportunity for those considering homeschooling to get some hand-outs and chat with homeschooling families, both new and veteran, in a very relaxed environment!
Please contact us for more information, or to sign up! We're looking forward to seeing you and your family there! WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF PLANNING VARIOUS SOCIAL EVENTS FOR THE 2011-2012 SCHOOL YEAR. BE SURE TO CHECK BACK IN LATE SPRING FOR ALL THE DETAILS!
