Thursday May 16 Boys' 10-14 hang-out in Suffield

Passing this along from Shelley Wurst....


Our next boys' 10-14yr(ish) hang-out time will be on Thursday, May 16, 1-3 pm, at Sunrise Park in Suffield (2075 Mountain Road). We'll meet at the upper parking lot next to the pond. Fishing is an option at this park if any of the boys want to bring equipment. They should also bring anything else they'd like to do (the last meet up they had a baseball game, there was a football being tossed around, and some tennis was played). All homeschooled boys ages 10-14 yrs are welcome to attend, as well as any age/gender siblings. (This is not a drop-off event.)

We had a good turn-out last week, 9 families attended for a total of 10 boys in the target range (plus more counting siblings), and everyone seemed to have a great time. The general consensus is that at each meet-up we will discuss and choose the next date/location. We want to do at least one or two more regular meet-ups before the end of this school year, then will pick up again in the fall. During the summer, we will come up with weekly park/water locations where some of the group may be getting together (none of us expect we'll be able to attend every week, but as a basic idea of where there might be some boys of this age gathered).

This is a very informal group RSVPs are not necessary, come if you can! We will stay in touch by posting the dates and locations of the get-togethers on the CT-CHEER,
CT Homeschoolers Inclussive, H.O.P.E. Bulletin Board and on the Tolland County Home Schoolers facebook page.

Any questions or comments can be directed to me at collieherd@cox.net
Hope to see you at Sunrise Park next Thursday!
