Williamsburg (and more) Trip
This trip is now full.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown
In 2006-2007, in addition to the annual European trips, Heritage is offering a domestic trip to Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. This trip is set for the first week in October 2006, and is geared toward returning 8th & 9th grade students. Those students will get preferred acceptance, but if there is insufficient response from that group, participation will be opened to all Heritage students from 8th to 12th grades. We are limited to a maximum of twenty-six (26) participants, fifteen (15) of whom must be students. The cost for each participant is $525, which covers all travel, accommodations and meals, but not the cost of incidentals such as souvenirs or Coca-Colas.
As you might guess from the destinations, the emphasis of this trip is on the Colonial Period and the early days of the American republic. Because we want students to immerse themselves into the colonial era as much as possible, we have not skimped on costs where it would adversely affect the experience. So, for example, we will eat at least two meals at taverns in Colonial Williamsburg. These are fairly expensive meals, but they will feature genuine colonial fare in the very taverns in which the radical (we would say patriot) burgesses reconvened when the royal governor dissolved the House of Burgesses.

The Chicago Gypsies is "a Tale of Two Cities"...as Charley describes it....Fort Dodge, Iowa, and Chicago, Illinois.
Charley Dover, an eleven year old girl who is part of a show business family in the 1930's, narrates this quaint and heartwarming story of how her family muddled through the Great Depression. The show begins with
Charlie, backstage at a show in Chicago, waiting to go on. She addresses the audience and reflects on her life the past month or so. Charley begins to tell the tale of what happened to her family while they were stranded in Fort Dodge in the middle of the freezing, snowy winter.
Charley has inherited her father's (Johnny) optimism, and as troubles begin to fill the lives of Charley, Johnny and Venus (Charley's mother), Charley"converses" her way through all of them.She has a little help, of course! Pearl Gold and Miss Nettie are Charley's old friends who help to coach her through the struggles that life throws at her. The first struggle is a local schoolgirl, Edith, and her sidekick Mary. (Mary wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for Edith).
Charley's wit and eleven year old perspective will break your heart and make you laugh.
While Hollywood was soaring in the 1930's, stage actors were struggling to put bread on the table like everyone else. The Chicago Gypsies offers a unique and often untold story of the post-vaudevillian theatre of the 1930's.

FACING THE GIANTS
Opening weekend in theaters is September 29-October 1.
The Story:
FACING THE GIANTS is the story of Grant Taylor(Alex Kendrick), a coach who has never led his Shiloh Eagles to a winning season. Moreover, if six years of lackluster games have been dismal, today tops everything: his star player is transferring to another school, a group of fathers are secretly meeting to fire him as head coach, and he and his wife Brooke(Shannon Fields) face infertility. Help arrives not in the form of a star quarterback, but a visitor who urges Grant to lift his team goals beyond the football field. Fueled by renewed faith, Grant gives his players a new game plan, daring them to believe in the impossible on and off the field.
The Production:
Sherwood Baptist Church, led by Pastor Michael Catt, has an innovative vision to “reach the world from Albany, GA” via the non-traditional ministry of filmmaking. Blessed by a supportive church family, two talented filmmakers (Stephen and Alex Kendrick), and an all-volunteer cast and crew, Sherwood has achieved this vision through FACING THE GIANTS.
A Review:
Just thought I would share that the Albany MAFA school is meeting at Sherwood Baptist Church, which produced the Facing the Giants movie. Our missions are very similar and it has been a "good fit" for us to be there.
Also the movie was pre-screened in Albany and some of us have already had a chance to see it. IT IS EXCELLENT on every count and is a movie you will want to share with your family, and any unbeliever friends. I encourage you ALL to see it.
Sandra Smith (Master's Academy director *Albany)
Co-Director Albany MAFA
********************
The Kendrick family from the Master’s Academy – Marietta location has two of their uncles, Stephen Kendrick and Alex Kendrick, who are heavily involved as producers, directors, and actors in this movie.

Home School Swim Program
Scroll to the homeschool brochure or this link.

Why Swimming?
Competitive Swimming helps young people develop great habits for life. It offers an excellent cardiovascular workout and a lifelong fitness activity but has a lower risk of injury than most other sports. Swimmers learn the values of hard work, commitment, loyalty to team-mates and goal setting all in an environment of fun and friendship. Home-schooled swimmers can meet their physical eduation requirement. You can participate at any of four levels form 1 hour a week to full team mem-bership.
Why Gwinnett Aquatics?
Gwinnett Aquatics is one of the best ways to get involved in swimming in the Atlanta area. We provide top notch coaching in a small team setting. Swimmers will have a personal relationship with coaches and one another as our team acts as a family with movie nights, cookouts, and other team activities. Our program is also unique in that it stresses all-round fitness even at the youngest levels. All swimmers spend significant time in dryland training designed to improve functional strength, coordination and motor skills. Our training philosophy stresses the gradual, consistent development of all swimmers built on a base of technical proficiency.

Further Expanation of this weblog
Many times we are asked to publicize events, classes, seminars and opportunies to our mailing list of students. We have never felt comfortable using our mailing list for purposes other than sanctioned school-related items.
We want to show that we value the privacy of the parents involved in Heritage, and save them the headache of receiving mail that they may not want.
So....Concordia was born. We hope it will serve as a bulletin board of opportunities for the homeschooling community around our county of Gwinnett and the surrounding areas.
