Alliance of Bay County Homeschoolers

Alliance of Bay County Homeschoolers is an internet-based group created to forge an atmosphere of camaraderie among local homeschoolers.
ABCH requires respect for other people's chosen paths and does not endorse any particular religious, political or educational philosophy.
We seek intelligent, open-minded, forward-thinking homeschoolers who choose to explore educational opportunities for themselves and their children.
Membership is free. We provide a forum for homeschoolers to connect with others, plan events and activities, and promote knowledge in its members.

Each of our programs utilizes the classical tools of learning and emphasizes life-long learning skills.

A Life of Faith and GEMS

GEMS and ALOF are Christian based girls' clubs that focus on equipping girls for the future. This year, the two groups are combining to form "Gems for ALOF". This new group will be geared towards older girls, ages 8-17.

This new group will meet two Tuesdays a month beginning Sept 22. Each year, we will study a new home skill...cooking, sewing, etc.

Our theme for this year will be "Fruits of the Kitchen."
The girls will learn to cook (kitchen safety, basic food preparation and presentation, baking, etc). No prior cooking knowledge is required. This new group will be a fun way to learn to cook and make friends.

Each meeting we will prepare our snack as part of our lesson, so we will have an ingredient sign-up list rather than a snack list.
Gems for ALOF will also produce a cookbook of all the recipes we use and tips we learn.

At the end of the year, we will hold a "Fruits of the Kitchen" picnic in which the girls will prepare an entire buffet and show off their new-found culinary skills.

We will be meeting two Tuesdays of every month from 1-2:30 Sept. 2009 thru May 2010 at Forest Park United Methodist Church on 23rd St. in Panama City. $25 Registration fee due at registration Registration will be at the FCTH Openhouse tomorrow night or you can email to register at keds02@yahoo.com

Mrs. Ruth will be taking a break this year from GEMS. We will all miss her so very much. She was the driving force behind our groups and an incredible leader. This means I will need some moms to help with different jobs (ingredient sign-up, pictures, etc) Please let me know if you can volunteer...every little bit helps..

Contenders

The Contenders for the Faith is a group for boys, ages 5 through 14. Contenders is similar to other scout programs. The boys work on projects to earn pins/badges that they get at the end of the year. The boys will learn about different things each month, do various science experiments, and develop skills in leadership while making lasting friendships with other boys their age. Combined with hands on activities this group will aid them in developing good habits in their own walk with God. Contenders is a great way for boys to meet friends and have fun!

Contenders meets at Forest Park United Methodist Church on 23rd St. They meet two Tuesdays of each month from 1-2:30pm. Registration is $20 and is due at sign-up. Contenders is the brother group to GEMS for ALOF and runs during each of their meetings. Please contact Wanda to register your son.
