ECHC is working steadily to get ready for Fall Term Friday School classes. We are off to an awesome start by gathering a list of classes that our members are willing to offer. It is great to see how God has gifted our parents with talents, and how generous they are by sharing those talents and their time with our kids! We are truly blessed.
Here is our PRELIMINARY class list, with the age group it is appropriate for and a brief description of the class. ECHC members will soon vote on these classes. The classes with the most interest will form the schedule. If you intend on joining ECHC and are interested in being a part of this voting process, please contact us ASAP at echcinformation@gmail.com. We'd be happy to help you understand how co-op works and where you can get plugged-in this term. Some of the classes below may appear to be duplicates, but they are offered in different ages groups, and are therefore listed more than once.
Other Co-op information: Our Fall Term will begin October 4th and will end November 22nd. Our end of the term Presentation Night will be on November 22nd. Membership dues will be $25 per family per term. Each class will have material fees ranging from $4 - $14 (but most are around $6). The class fees are charged once for the entire term.
