Santa’s Workshop Works Overtime at the DHSA Christmas Party!

Thank you, Melodi Kallmeyer, for mobilizing over 45 “elves” in Santa’s workshop! Kids of all ages tied a quilt, stuffed and sewed toy balls, and sanded and painted building blocks to donate to the Humanitarian Center. Santa and Mrs. Claus were on site, supervising and encouraging the helpers. Great work, everyone, and thanks again, Melodi, for your time and work putting the event together!

Treasure Valley Homeschool Spelling Bee!

Our first Spelling Bee is coming up: February 15th, 2012.

We will meet at the Garden City Library.

We will meet together about once a month to practice our spelling skills and participate in a spelling bee. Take a look at around the website to get an idea of what a spelling bee is like.
