What exactly does SAFE provide to homeschooling families?
SAFE is a support group that provides weekly co-op classes through Club Day, monthly activities such as field trips, skating, bowling, park days, and monthly membership meetings for parents for fellowship, connection, information, training, etc. We also offer a yearbook, prom, and graduation ceremony at the end of the school year. Yearly goals also include a science fair, history fair, and Presentation nights at the conclusion of the fall and spring Club Day semesters for students to showcase projects, plays, reports, art, etc. completed during their Club Day classes.
Parents within our organization have also provided High School and Middle School socials for extra student fellowship in the form of City-wide Scavenger Hunts, Night Missions, Dodgeball, GaGa Ball, Game and movie nights, Nerf wars, Capture the Flag, etc.
We have vision to add more opportunities as parent volunteers step up to the plate. We hope you’ll consider growing with us.
