It was brought up that the National Gardening Association takes applications every year for Garden Grants. Grants for School and Youth Gardens are awarded to kids' groups, clubs, schools, etc. to build a group garden. There needs to be a minimum of 15 kids involved;
the grants are anywhere from $50 to $500. The money is awarded so that the group can plot, build, plant, and grow gardens. It is a super opportunity. The deadline is February so we missed for this year but it was asked if we would want to try for this next year. It was a unanimous yes.

Frog Dissection
dissecting[Untitled]yuck
We learned about owls and then dissected owl pellets. Inside the pellets were the bones of its prey. Then, in the next unit we learned about frogs and how they metamorphose. Then each student got to dissect a frog. We took out all the organs and identified them. Simeon cut open the head and found the brain.
Kendle took out an eyeball.
It was really interesting. Some kids really got into it and didnt want to quit. Others just thought it was g-r-o-s-s!


1st Science Workshop




Brenda A. SVHE News - Star Valley Home Educators SVHE News - Star Valley Home Educators
Our first Science Workshop was
held at the Lechner's home in Etna.
We had Brenda Ashworth, from the
S.V. Water Conservation District,
visit. She explained to us what
SVWCD was and what they did.
She brought with her a model of a
watershed.
The children took turns applying
pollutants, in the form of thick
liquids colored with koolaid.
pollutants such as fertilizers,
gasoline and oil from spills,
manure, pesticides...
Then, after all the pollutants were applied, they took turns spraying water on the model. This showed them exactly how the pollutants flow into water sources.
It was a fun, hands-on demonstration. The hardest part was getting the spray bottles away from them, when we were done.








SVHE Christmas Party

The Christmas Party was a HUGE success.
A tremendous thank you to Ira for planning and arranging everything. You did a fantastic job. Everyone enjoyed themselves and not a single complaint was heard from ANYONE!! not even a mouse......

The food arrangement went without a hitch and that is the way we will plan from now on...amazingly smooth.
The games were so much FUN. Thank you again Ira.

And, thankyou to everyone who brought marvelous dishes and helped with the games. A big thankyou for helping to clean up after. We have not had a single complaint from the officers at the armory nor their cleaning lady, Cory. :)

"Heart of Christmas" Concert


We had several of our members in the "Heart of Christmas" Benefit Concert that took place on Dec. 4 and 5 at
Sv High School. They were absolutely amazing. Teri and Tyler Hoop with their amazing voices, wowed the audience.
We are so proud of Samuel Lechner, who recited from memory, Luke 2:6-18 about the "Birth of Jesus".
Adam Cook was in the finale as part of the Swing Club at the highschool, and he was great; so debonair.
Thank you to our members and all the others involved in the production, for all your hard work that you put in to make
the benefit concert for Kenner Johnson, such a success.
