4-H Boca Buddies 2015/16 Information

Boca Buddies now has a new website:  Visit bocabuddies.weebly.com


Boca Buddies,
As we are all homeschoolers, we will simplify by just using the HOPE Homeschoolers Friday Co-Op Handbook for our guide.  4-H guidelines are very similar, and can be found at 4honline.com.

HOPE Homeschoolers Friday Co-Op Handbook


New Members:
1.  Register on 4honline.com
     Please be sure to list Palm Beach County at all times.
     $10 for children
     $1 for adults
     You need to create a family profile, then add family members.  This takes about an hour.
     Payment to Candi.
     For projects:  We are doing Science and Discovery, and Art.  You can also choose Photography. Anything you are very interested in.  Lesson packets are available at the 4-H office in WPB for any additional materials you would need if you wanted to learn something as a family.  The reason we pick about 3 projects is because sometimes you may be interested in participating in a competition during the year, and you must be registered for that project to participate.  Our club is focusing on Science and Discovery and Amphibians. Amphibians for some reason is not listed in the drop down boxes.

2.  Print off Friday Co-Op Registration Packet and give to Candi.

3.  Recommended:  HOPE Homeschoolers Membership.
     Membership IS required for Choir and Classical Education classes held on Co-Op day.
     4-H, HOPE membership is recommended but not required.
     I personally love going out for Mom's Night Out, the Christmas Tea Party, and the          
     Graduation/Promotion Night.  Emails and opportunities emailed, plus members list.
     I always register for FPEA too through HOPE.
