The Latest, March 1st

It seems the helpful resources won't stop coming in, which proves to me what a vibrant, and active community we live in! We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place, with so many talented and diverse people to occupy it. I  wanted to fill you in on some of the fun and interesting things I have discovered recently, in case you've missed them on the homeschool and community resources pages. Many of them are free or low cost, and for all ages. Here we go!

The Volcano School of Arts and Sciences is doing their Spring musical next Thursday evening, March 7th, at 6pm. Located at the KMC Theatre in Hawaii Volcanoes National park. It's free of cost and a wonderful opportunity to expose our kids to the arts! Contact the school for more info.

Puna Happenings. This is a web page dedicated to posting the latest events, classes, and workshops in Puna! Everything from Capoeira, to African Drumming, to Naturopathic Talk-Story, to Art Shows, are listed here.
What an amazing resource for our Puna families who may be needing a  little extra enrichment in  their lives.

Kupukupu Center for Healing Arts, located in Pahoa. "A center where diverse cultural and healing art forms can be shared and practiced with the aims of transforming our communities, ourselves, and uplift spirits."
Check their classes and events schedule for an amazing array of opportunities to grow and learn from others!

Interested in gardening? 4-H of Hilo is offering a  Junior Master Gardener class every 1st and 3rd Saturday at 10am to 11:30am at the Boys and Girls Club in Hilo. Free for all ages. Call Becky at #969-8213 for more information. 

I've heard RAVE reviews about Mr. Lee's  Puppetry and Art class at the East Hawaii Cultural Center in Hilo!**Saturdays at EHCC there is an "Ohana Art Class" for ages 4-11 years old. Class includes mask making, mime, puppetry, makeup and more. 10am-12pm with a $10 per class fee. Contact Lee for details: leemichael@walczuk.com  

Are you busy chasing older children around while also caring for your baby? Join the Big Island Babywearers to learn more about the comfort and ease of "wearing" your baby. Big Island Babywearers is a networking group of parents who come together to share their knowledge and experience of various baby carrier options. You can try on carriers, learn about the various styles and prices of each carrier, and maybe even discover one that suits your lifestyle. Free of cost.
And last on my list, The Aloha Co-op (a group of families who exchange homeschooling days with each other) is offering a class  every Wednesday at Hawaiian Acres Community Center. They are doing a “Half n Half Class”, which is half tumbling and motor skill activities, and the other half reading stories out loud. They are currently looking for ages 6 and above to participate,
