TEACH in Beeville
Texas Education Achieved in Caring Homes

Allowing home schoolers in the Beeville Area to learn and utilize the technology and creativity in developing Web pages/sites

May 1,  2004 is scheduled the Family Fun Day.  Festivities will begin at 10:00 a.m. at the Word of Life parking lot.  We will kick off the morning with a visit from a local fire truck (and maybe from the Dalmatian firedog too).  After a short presentation, time for the kids to ask questions and feel their way around a fire truck, we will head to the Cantrell home for the rest of the day's events.   Cantrell directions: Bus. 181 N. to Bronco Lane.  Turn right on Bronco. Off Bronco take a left onto Dodd Lane.  The address is 229 Dodd.  (behind Word of Life Church)
    Lunch will be a potluck picnic.  Bring a cooler of drinks for your family, picnic items (napkins, plates, & eating utensils), lawn chairs (or blankets) & food to share for the potluck picnic.
    After a lunch and fellowship the afternoon will be filled with field events for the family.  Sac races, face pointing, obstacle courses, ring toss, etc. will be planned.  NO ONE WILL BE LEFT OUT!!!!!  A planning meeting for those who would like to help plan these activities will take place at Ali Cantrell's, Thursday April 22 at 3:00 p.m..  Teenagers are especially needed.  Any questions can be directed to Ali at 358-7795.
    If the weather is extremely warm, the day will end about 5:00 p.m.. witha water balloon and water gun fight.  Adults and children are urged to bring balloons and guns.  (Dads can buy Super Soakers at Wal-Mart for the challenge).  This will probably start out children against adults but end in a free for all.
    HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE THERE!!!!!
Graduation will be May 27, 2004. 
NOTICE: this is NOT on a Friday but on a Thursday night.  Due to Beeville High School's graduation ceremony we have allowed for any conflicting agendas.  Graduation will be Ysidio Garza, kindergarten, Wendy Monroe, eighth grade and Nicholas Salas, high school. The event will begin at 7:00 p.m..  Anyone interested in doing special talent need to notify Joyce Salas a.s.a.p.  358-5528.  A BBQ dinner will follow.  The Salas family will be donating the meat, drinks, plates, napkins, and utensils.  Other homeschool families need to bring side dishes and a dessert.  All homeschoolers are urged to attend.  Many families use this as a time to acknowledge their children's accomplishments and teacher's dedication.  Some give out special gifts or awards.  It is our last event
for these 2003-2004 academic year.
    It has been mentioned that a book swap and fellowship would be nice.  If someone would like to head one up, work out the details and announce it at the graduation or family day that will be super!
    Several field trips were on the agenda this year but plans did not
solidify.  Anyone who would like to plan these events for next year, it
would be appreciated.
    Hope to see you all at the family field day and then at graduation!  If you are unable to attend either event, look for e-mails, phone calls and newsletters about up and coming events next fall!!
