Activities

The following is a partial list of things we do. If no contact information is given, then either enrollment is currently closed or you must be a member of the group to participate.

The Things We Do

Email List:

This is where most announcements are made. New plans and any changes to plans are announced here so it is important to join this list. You will be invited to join the list when you ask to join the group.

Tea Time email list:

This is our "just for fun" email list. There are no off topics, and we can and do discuss anything! This is the spot for rants, for selling non-homeschool items, or just to muse on the latest thing to cross your brain. To join, email Karen.

Park Days:

Once a week on Fridays. See the Park Days page for more information.

Small groups:

We now have small groups based on location. There are groups in Denton County, Grapevine, Hurst/Euless/Bedford, Keller, North Richland Hills, Roanoke and Wise County. To join, simply ask on the main list. Also we are looking for people willing to step forward to lead additional small groups in other areas.

Casa Mañana:

We get together each month to attend children's plays at Casa Mañana.

Mom's Night Out:

This is a night for the moms to get together and visit, encourage one another, and help each other problem-solve. Plans are announced on the email list.

Field Trips:

Any member can plan a field trip whenever they want. We are currently looking for a field trip co-ordinator. If you are interested, just let Karen know.

Teen Night and Pre-Teen Night:

Pre-teen activities are for 10–12 yr olds and Teen activities are for 12 yr olds and up. Parents should use their own discretion when deciding with which group their 12 yr old belongs. Contact Karen for more information about Teen Night activities or Shannon for more information about Pre-Teen Night.

PE:

Our 2005–2006 AGAPE Homeschool Fitness program is offering several classes. See the PE page for more information.

Starbrite Outreach:

We meet in Hurst several times a year for projects supporting the military and military families. Email starbritefamilies@yahoo.com for more information.

And More!

Other activities that come and go depending on what individual members are willing to organize: Chess Club, Craft Club, Bible Studies, Jump rope club, Lego League, Drama class, Family Fun Night, Scrapbooking nights, Genre Book Club, Reading incentive programs, etc. The list is only limited by your imagination!
