Fund Raising - Let us know what you want to do. We could hold a car wash or get involved in the city or territorial garbage pickup this spring. Money raised could be used for group outings or special events.

Kidproof Canada - Empowering Children Through Safety Education! - Kidproof Canada has recently made the Babysitting course available as a home study program for kids (ages 10-15) that live outside our current class areas.

To find out more about classes or the home study option, contact Richelle Benoit at 1-800-467-4615 or visit the Kidproof Canada website.

As you continue with your learning, check out the classifieds for books you might be able to use.

Thinking of Others
If your family is planning an activity and you can include a few more kids in the learning experience we would be happy to send out an e-mail bulletin to let other families know what you have to offer. Sharing an activity with others can make it a lot more fun and you can help another home schooler at the same time.
e.g.: "The Smith family is going to be doing a _____ science project next Wednesday and are looking for 3 more children between the ages of 8 and 12 to join them."
or "The Happy family is planning an afternoon of tennis and would like 2 more kids over the age of 6 to play with us."
Just let us know what activities your family can share with others and we'd be happy to pass the message along.

The City of Whitehorse Active Living Guide is now available at city Parks and Recreation. (668-8325) or online.
This is a great resource for both educational and recreational activities available in the city: Introduction to Paper Mache, Roc Climbing, Swimming, Drawing, etc. You might want to check it out....
