Calvert Responding to Hurricane Katrina
In light of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, Calvert School
is working to help families deal with the effects of the hurricane
in a number of ways. We are collecting money to assist families
in need, and we have provided lesson plans to help
explain to children what happened.
At this time Calvert School is determining how best to help out
in this crisis. Unique opportunities may exist because Calvert
School courses include everything necessary to teach a child
in one box. The courses also can move with a family.
Calvert School is a not-for-profit education organization committed
to educating children. When circumstances allow us to be of assistance,
we will explain our plan on our website. In the meantime, Calvert
School is accepting donations to assist in educating these displaced
children. Monetary donations to our relief efforts are tax deductible.
If you are able to help out, please make the check out to Calvert
School and put Disaster Relief in the memo line.

Five-year-old
collecting toys for Katrina victims
Andrew Malphrus, 5, of Howe started Katrina's Kids, a fundraising
campaign to collect toys for children displaced in the hurricane.
Helping him out is his 2-year-old brother Simon. <snip>
Kandi Malphrus, who home-schools Andrew and his little brother
Simon, said this past week in school she has been teaching compassion
to the boys, and now they finally get to use it.
Project Noah
Project Noah is a homeschooling ministry that helps homeschooling
families in crisis. We only provide curriculum and school
supplies to the families that come to us with crisis needs
- whether it is because their home has burned, or been flooded,
or the primary wage earner has been without work for an
extended period of time, or other similar crisis, we try to help.
We have been serving the homeschooling community for almost 5
years now and will continue as long as there are families
in need.
Free
Online K-8, High School and College Courses for Students Displaced
by Hurricane Katrina!
The Ambleside Online Advisory has created a free curriculum plan,
AO-HELP, for families and relief workers who need emergency educational
help for children in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. All
books and materials necessary are available online for free.
It requires no materials other than pencil and paper, and a Good
Samaritan friend with access to a computer and a printer. It
is designed to be user-friendly, even for those who have never
taught, and suitable for a wide age range.
Help For
Katrina Victims from Seton
In the last few days, Seton has had several calls from Seton
families devastated by Hurricane Katrina. To assist these families,
Seton has established a fund dedicated to the replacement of
curriculum for our families who have had to flee the hurricane
and flood. The fund will be used to replace lost books and lesson
plans. All donations to Seton are tax-deductible. Any money not
distributed will be placed in Seton's general scholarship fund
for families in need.
Hurricane
Katrina Response from Home School Foundation
In response to the devastation caused by hurricane Katrina, the
Home School Foundation has established a Hurricane Emergency
Response program to help homeschooling families who have suffered
great losses.
We will use contributions to this program to assist families
with replacing lost or destroyed curriculum and meeting emergency
needs.
If you know of homeschooling families who need our assistance,
please have them call us at 540-338-8899 or email info@homeschoolfoundation.org.
