HEN Boy’s PE Program
If you are interested in registering you
son(s) for next year’s HEN Boy’s PE Program,
please contact the new coordinator, Tami Bourland, at thebourlands@cox.net
or 896-8663.
Classes meet on Tuesday & Thursday beginning
the first week after Labor Day and ending the last week
of April. Class size is limited and usually fills up quickly.
Fee for the entire year is $65 per son.
Volunteer Opportunity this summer
The Homeschool families of Iowa and Nebraska will be volunteering
again at the festival.
The Homeschool night is June 26. The Festival is held at
the campus of UNO. Your commitment would begin about 530
and you would be free to stay to see the show, King Lear,
or to leave after intermission.
Families welcome, but this particular show is heavy-duty
stuff and may not be suitable for younger children. Still
- it is considered one of Shakespeare's greatest works.
Please contact Lori Darby at loria1121@cox.net
for further information.
STARFISH MINISTRY - WAYS TO HELP!
Our friends, Dave and Robin Laney, a fellow Home School
family with three children, have a ministry, “Starfish
Ministry” which feeds the hungry downtown every Sunday.
The Bible tells us to “clothe the naked, feed the
hungry, take care of the poor,” and they could use
our help.
Every Sunday the Laneys and a handful of faithful volunteers
are downtown at noon sharp feeding 150-250 people in front
of the Library at the Gene Leahy Mall.
They could use some help.
Instead of one person frying up 30 lbs. of hamburger, what
if 3 people were to volunteer and fry 10 lbs. each?
They need cooks, servers, conversationalists, donations,
money, trash picker-uppers, etc.
This ministry fits in with “Acts of Service”
which are required to help our children become not so self-centered/absorbed.
Why not come down once a month and volunteer with the whole
family?
There are many needs and many hands make light work, esp.
when we are commanded to take care of the needy.
Here is the contact information for the Laneys:

Home School Library
The Home School Library will be open this Thursday, May
8th, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 29th and Dewey - west side
of I480.
The Home School Library will be open all summer. We've
always been open all twelve months of the year.
This spring we've added a brand new telescope, updated
the magnet kit and added hundreds of easy readers suitable
for kindergarten through 4th grade.
You can feel confident that all the books in our library
are carefully screened for wholesome content and good values.
Soon, all of our video tapes will be converted to DVD's
and we're adding over twenty new ones.
Please consider using this wonderful resource for your
summer reading program!!
