Homeschool HUB Information - The Homeschool HUB - Your Homeschool Educational Resouce

We are one of the fastest growing
homeschool groups in the area.
We have many new,
adventurous ideas in the works...
Become a part of something fantastic.

The Homeschool HUB is making some changes!!

Our Board of Directors has decided to make membership in the HUB free and to include all homeschoolers who are receiving the weekly update. The reason for this is that we no longer have a building to support, and we feel that one of the most valuable services we provide is the dissemination of information to homeschoolers throughout Michiana through our updates, website, and yahoo group. We bring in enough to cover telephone, mailing, and insurance expenses through volunteering at Silverhawk games, advertising on our website, and the Boxtops for Education program.

Our weekly update by email is THE way to get all the information you need on classes, activities, field trips and volunteer opportunities, to mention just a few.

Not getting the updates? Just send a request for this free service along with your email address, and your first and last names to homeschoolhub@yahoo.com.

Please note: We are committed to offering volunteer and enrichment opportunities so that the homeschool community in and around Michiana may benefit from a rich educational experience. These offerings are not just for members, please check them out! If you have any questions or would like to teach for pay or volunteer in your area of expertise, please contact one of our directors: 269-240-6094 or email hub@hshub.org

If you are a homeschooler who is receiving this update you can get a HUB membership card which may be shown at Borders and Barnes & Noble to get their educator's discount card. To do so, either send a self-addressed stamped envelope to:
Homeschool HUB
Box 286
Niles , MI 49120
or pick one up at any HUB event.

We are planning tubing at Five Pines in the winter, as well as Mendel Center and Bethel plays throughout the year. Watch the weekly updates for details.

We would appreciate it if you would bring your boxtops and soup labels to HUB events.

Exchange ideas with other homeschoolers in the Michiana area through our Yahoo Group.
The group is not all that active because we do not throw out topics for discussion or try to make traffic in any way. It's used to make announcements or for questions people may have. For instance, a member recently wanted info on graduation for her son who is entering his senior year. She asked if anyone knew of any "cap & gown" ceremonies for homeschoolers in the area. Immediately someone who had a graduate this past year sent her the info she needed. She commented that it is valuable to have a place where you can get questions answered and we can all share our knowledge and expertise.
