A Note from the President
Greetings,
We are constantly amazed at the many blessings being bestowed upon us. In the past two days, we've gotten information about a National Honor Society available for homeschoolers, educational programs at Bass Hall, activities for our youth fellowship, and many other opportunities you can find as you read this newsletter or website.
Everywhere we turn people are busy teaching classes, planning field trips, and organizing activities for our students.
With this in mind, if you haven't found your "niche" at HIS, we still have need of a coordinator for our Thanksgiving feast in November. The Moran's could use a couple more families to step up to help with some of the youth fellowships.
If you have a digital camera, be sure to take pictures at each event and turn it in to Beth and Michelle for the yearbook.
Your love and dedication to your family and the families of HIS is evident everywhere and God is blessing your efforts!
In HIS service with you,
Hal and Susie Thurow
Fort Worth Homeschool National Honor Society |

SHAKESPEARE AT BASS HALL ROMEO AND JULIET performed by Stage West! Romeo and Juliet will be at the Bass Hall during the week of October 22-26. This will be a one hour condensed version by Stage West. Show times will either be 10am or 12 noon (information pending). Shelley Mullins has 40 spots reserved. This is for Jr. High and High School students only. She has 30 student tickets, and 10 teacher tickets. These are FREE tickets, but you have to RSVP with Mrs. Mullins as soon as possible to join this group. H.I.S. still has a few positions for activities open!
COMING SOON! Automated Phone Tree System! When H.I.S. has something to announce to the membership, we will just pre-record a message and it will automatically be called to each member. The machine will call until it gets a real person, not an answering machine or busy signal. A Little About Our Group H.I.S. (Home is School) Private Educators is a support group composed of families who are or will be homeschooling and desire to affiliate with others for the betterment of the homeschooling experience. If you desire more information, come to our next monthly meeting or call one of the families that make up our Executive Board.
"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."

We meet the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm in the fellowship hall of Retta Baptist Church. The monthly meetings are designed to be informational, as well as inspirational. This is an excellent way to get to know more home-schoolers. We encourage the whole family to attend. Visitors are welcome to come meet our group, and we would be happy to answer any questions that you might have.
One benefit that H.I.S. offers is Thursday School. These classes are held from 1:00 - 4:00 pm in the Retta Baptist Church fellowship hall. Thursday School is meant to enhance your home schooling experience. In addition, we also offer field trips and youth fellowships on a monthly basis.
The H.I.S. Sentinel is our newsletter that is prepared and distributed monthly to the entire membership. This newsletter serves to keep us all informed of activities, events, and special interests as well as provide general words of encouragement.
H.I.S. offers plenty of activities and events for a well-rounded education. We have plenty of opportunities for everyone to participate. Annual events include the following:
Proverbs 22:6
