___________________________________________Lititz Home EducatorsNew Member contacts: Jen Richter- 327-8064 [email protected] Eichorst- [email protected] Home Educators is a loosely knit group of home schooling families from Lititz and the surrounding com-munities. Membership in LHE can be an invaluable tool for asking questions, finding resources, buying, borrowing, and learning about opportunities. It is also a great way to network with other homeschoolers. We are predominately Christians who have joined together to support one another and coordinate a wide variety of activities as we educate our children at home. We do not require a signed statement of faith for membership, yet our group is founded on Jesus’ example of servant hood. We are not a weekly co-op, and, therefore we do not have a central facility or regularly scheduled meeting times. Rather, each year we accomplish what our moms/families are willing to initiate and do to serve everyone. LHE members are asked to contribute to the group each year. This could be organizing a field trip, a class on any subject or hobby, a show and tell, a moms’ meeting, or anything that might be of interest. WE are loosely organized under a volunteer board which anyone is welcome to join. New ideas are highly coveted as well! Registration deadline is May 21st for returning members. New families are always welcome. This year our focus is on a career challenge. Ask us about it!
