As always, all NHCH events and trips are open to all homeschoolers. Please feel free to invite friends, but they will need to sign up. Remember signing up for a trip is a commitment to come. If you are unsure, but still want facebook to remind you of it, please hit "maybe". Deadline to sign up for any trip is 1 week before the date of the trip unless otherwise noted.

Community Helpers

We will meet outside City Hall at 8:30 am.

We will tour city hall, then the fire department. 
We will then walk over to the Sheriff's office.
We will drive over and meet at the Double Springs Park (behind the library and community center) for a picnic and play time. We are hoping to have an ambulance there at the community center for the kids to see.
