Juniors Plan Prom

BY JAKE SADLER

Early in September, a group of 18 high school home school juniors met in west Little Rock for the first ever “ice cream social” for the class of 2010. Each year, the junior class of home schoolers of central Arkansas meet to get to know each other better before their senior year, and to make plans for the junior/senior prom in the spring.

The junior class traditionally hosts the prom for the senior class. These students and 4 adults met to discuss ideas and possible locations for the prom of 2009. The specific location and details are always kept secret until just before the event.

If you are a home schooled junior and would like to be involved in future meetings/planning sessions, contact Mrs. Karen Wenneker, or watch for details in the monthly Home Ed newsletter. Juniors will continue to meet throughout the year to discuss plans and fundraising activities for the prom. Two car washes are already planned for the month of October to help raise money for the junior class. The first car wash will be at the Exxon on the corner of Cantrell and Mississippi on October 4.

In order to participate in certain events like the prom and graduation, students must be members of Home Ed. For more information on how to become a member, go to http://www.homeedonline.com/.

Be sure to keep watching the Home Ed newsletter in the months to come for the date of the prom-- you won’t want to miss it!
