About BHLC
We are a secular
homeschooling group which means we are not specifically
connected with any one church or religion. Our members come
from all walks of life and belief systems and are united by
a desire to educate our children in a stimulating, respectful
environment.
We offer support and opportunities
for ALL homeschooling families and we welcome all without regard
to religion, race, ability/disability, or cultural belief. We
continually strive to offer new educational opportunities and
experiences for each child who joins our group. Parent and child
involvement is essential for growth, and we encourage all to
participate in classes and activities.
BHLC receives
a Department of Environmental Quality’s
2010 EcoArt Program Grant
BHLC recently applied for and received
a $3,800 grant from a new program jointly sponsored by LexArts and
LFUCG. The grant's purpose to is to encourage environmental art
projects that creatively educate local citizens on environmental
issues. BHLC, Inc. has been grateful to use the Quaker Meeting House
for co-op and we wanted to give back to our hosts who have been
so good to us. Co-op parents and teachers Kim Nicholson, Cynthia
Kelly, Tom Brenner, and Lynne Spencer came up with a plan to make
a green space and a garden for the Quakers in the parking lot behind
the Meetinghouse. In December, Sheila Brenner accepted the grant
award as well as a plaque from the Lexington-Fayette Government
which is on display at the Meetinghouse during co-op.
Work has already started in the Eco class and through meetings with
the Quakers to plan an earth friendly green space which will benefit
us as homeschoolers as well as the Quaker community and the neighborhood.
The Eco class will be filming the process for distribution to other
homeschool groups and the Art classes will be contributing their
creative imaginations to the project. As the project progresses,
we will be asking all in the BHLC community to contribute their
energy as well. The work will continue after co-op classes for this
semester are finished so watch this space for announcements and
progress reports. This is a wonderful oppurtunity for all of us
as homeschoolers and members of the community.
Thanks to Kim, Lynne, Cynthia, Sheila, Tom, Wendi and the Quakers
for all the work you are putting into this!
