Co-op info...
     Great Plains Christian Home Educators Co-op meets at Believers Worship Center in Hydro on Thursdays beginning September 3rd, 2009 at 9:45 a.m.. We have scheduled activities for ages 3 -18 years. A parent/guardian MUST accompany their child(ren) in order to participate in co-op activities.
A nominal co-op fee of $5.00 per child/per month ($15.00 fee cap for families with over 3 participating children) provides the necessary funds to lease the facility we have been privileged to use. It is the responsibility of each participating family to pay their dues monthly. Families also help contribute lunch menu items for the designated "menu" of the day. We work together in these efforts!
GPCHE Co-op Classes are divided by age ranges,rather than actual grade levels. If you feel your child is suited for a different activity level than what is listed, please receive permission from Co-op leadership prior to promoting your child at Co-op activities. Pre-School (2-4 years of age); Pre-K/Kindergarten (5-6 years of age); Elementary (6-11 years of age); Junior High (12-13 years of age); High School (14-18 years of age).
