Homeschooling is more than an academic adventure. It encompasses all the aspects of the ministries in our homes from cleaning to relationships, from educational principles and practices to curriculum, toddlers, nutrition, babies, teens, encouragement.. Well, you get the picture, everything!

Please feel free to discuss any issues that you may have in your lives or curriculum you would like to sell or buy, prayers you need, encouragement that you need (we all need that once in awhile) or anything else you want to share. All buying/selling after initial posts are strickly between the buyer and seller. Most of all civility to all persons on this board is a MUST and flaming or any other sort of hostile behavior toward members on this board will not be tolerated.

...and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:15)

RECESS is a homeschool group that has planned activities in Cheyenne, Wyoming and surrounding areas since 1998. We primarily use a newsletter and this list to communicate those activities with the members. Only new or changed info. is published on the list, the major source of information does come from our monthly newsletter. It is free to join our group, newsletters are $7 a school year, with the price being $3.50 after January. Newsletter subscription can be obtained by mailing fee to the treasurer after you have been joined. Send your name and address, as well as e-mail to this goup and we will write you back with more questions. We are a Christian group and welcome all who want to be a part of the group in Cheyenne, Burns, Hillsdale, Carpenter, Pine Bluffs and surrounding Laramie County areas. We have skating, swimming and bowling in conjunction with another Cheyenne homeschool group, monthly playdates, monthly field trips, speakers, homeschool book sales, scholastic book orders, pizza hut book-it program, mom's night out's, pot luck's, and an annual field day in the park (picture shows some of our kids at the 06 field day praising God).

Try us out for yourself, everyone is friendly, helpful and supportive in homeschooling and Christian issues. We are MORE than just an e-list!!

The purpose of this "public" site is to network area homeschooling families, support groups and curriculum suppliers, to pass along information that is of interest to area homeschooling families, to share ideas, opportunities and events and to assist new homeschoolers in the area.

If you have questions about homeschooling in Nebraska or Wyoming, know of opportunities for homeschooling parents or support groups in the area, or if you are just seeking support and encouragement from other homeschoolers we welcome you.

If you are a Support Group Leader and desire to share your upcoming events that are open to ALL homeschoolers please feel free to post it here. We ask that Support Group Leaders refrain from posting "member only" activities on this site. However, you may post a link to your homeschool group's website on our links page for our yahoo members to refer to when seeking area homeschool groups.
