Attn: Grants Pass Homeschoolers!

from James Art Ville:

"The Grants Pass Library has provided an alert system to notify home-schoolers of upcoming events and specials. This will likely take the form of emails being sent. However, it seems like they won't roll it out until they have more people sign up. This is that they sent to me:

Hello,
I will add you to my list. So far, my list is quite small and has not reached the point where it’s worth sending much out. If you could help build it, and get people to send me items to share, that would be wonderful!

Thanks,
Kate Dwyer
Outreach Education Librarian
Josephine Community Libraries
200 NW C Street Street
PO Box 1684
Grants Pass OR 97528
(541) 476-0571

In order to sign up requires sending an email to: kdwyer@JosephineLibrary.org with the subject line of "HOMESCHOOL ALERT SIGN-UP"

This would be an amazing resource for my family, and we need your help to make it worth their time and effort. Please consider signing up. Thank you."

Apple Pie Day at the Victory Rally [Medford] 10/3

Apple Pie Day in Medford?!

Apple Pie Day is an event that occurs every other year at the Capitol in Salem; it's an opportunity for home schooling families to meet their legislators, and for the legislators to meet the fine families they are representing.

This Friday, we have an opportunity to meet many of the candidates in this 2014 election right here in Medford. Bring your family to the Victory Rally at the Commons from 5-8pm, meet some folks, introduce yourselves as home schoolers. When our newly-elected legislators are in Salem, we want them to remember our faces and the values we hold dear.

Community Service Op

Opportunity for "Teen" Service: The Pregnancy Care Center is holding their annual Fundraising Gala October 23, 24 & 25, and they need young adult volunteer servers, preferably ages 14-19 (they've been known to take mature 12 year olds). This is a good opportunity for your young adult to serve the community, hear a great speaker & accrue volunteer hours for their transcript/resume. What? You say your student does not volunteer their time for others? Now is the time to start! Show them how to be a well-rounded individual by encouraging (requiring?) them to serve others. This is a huge plus on their high school transcript and/or resume. Contact the GP PCC to sign up. http://gppregnancy.com/

Violin lessons

From Stephanie Emmons:

ATTENTION PARENTS: Has your child expressed interest in learning to play the violin? This is the perfect time to start them with the new school year! Your child will learn how to read notes, learn music theory, to have proper violin posture and most of all, to enjoy playing the violin. For the past 6 years, I have been blessed to be able to help children achieve these skills along with growing in confidence and perseverance. Lessons are at a convenient Grants Pass location. My rate is $15.00 per 1/2 hour lesson. For more info, please contact me at 541-660-4611. www.stephanieemmons.weebly.com References are available. I look forward to talking with you about the possibility of teaming up with you to help develop your child's music skills. -Stephanie Emmons
