Homeschool Art Classes with Mrs Ellie

This is our 5th year at the Victoria Art League!  Such a great atmosphere and facility!  I hope to see you!
Classes start the first Thursday after Labor Day and will be held at the Victoria Art League 905 South Bridge.  Classes are $4.00 a lesson.  Three classes are available and I will need 8 students to make each class.  Maximum 22.  (Private lessons are available for kids or parents.)
Supplies:

Spiral Sketch Notebook.  This is drawing paper in a spiral bound 9X12 or 8X11 size
2 no. 2 pencils (any need not be new; plain yellow is great) kneaded eraser (available at Hobby Lobby or Office Depot.)
Prang water colors   Do not substitute~!
These supplies are available at H.E.B. and Hobby Lobby and the total cost should be about $10.00. 
1st class:

Thursdays 11:30-1:00
K5-4th grades

2nd class:

Thursdays 1:00-2:30
K5-4rth grades

3rd class:

Thursdays 2:30-4:00
5th grade through High School

Classes will be in Drawing, Painting, and Design, and continue throughout the entire school year, following the VISD calender, to end confusion.  In January we will have a shortened review of the 7 elements of design, and then cover special mediums and subjects.  We use my supplies for extra projects. No further purchase of supplies is necessary.  Victoria Art League covers the building use fee for HS only; For your non homeschooled children and friends, this same class is available after school on Mondays 4:30 to 6pm.  Cost is $10.00.  I love homeschooling, and offer the cut rate to encourage you to send as many of your children as you can afford.  There are Adult Classes in the am on Tuesday if you are interested!

For more information or to sign up ( you need to pre-register classes filled early last year!) contact Ellie Poirrier 655-0271 or Marcel at 655 1006. I need child's name, age, parent's name, and two phone numbers.  Thank you.  You may leave this info on my answering machine; I will call you with acknowledgment; if you don't get a call, CALL me back!

Competitive Homeschool Volleyball and Basketball

COBRA ATHLETICS

Cobra Athletics is a competitive sports program for home school children in the Crossroads area. The 2007/2008 season will mark our eleventh year of competing locally, statewide and nationally.  Not only will your children gain physical conditioning and strength, but also gain valuable friendships, have leadership opportunities, exercise perseverance, discipline and teamwork while learning to excel in body, soul and spirit.   COME JOIN THE FUN.  We are a parent/child volunteer organization that needs your input and participation in bringing competitive sports to our homeschooling families.  If you have a desire to coach and/or coordinate or want to see a different sport than what we offer presently, please let us know if we can help include that sport within Cobra Athletics.

For more information on High School and Junior High volleyball or basketball contact Coach Mark Simcik at 361-484-0993 or msdsae@att.net
