Potluck

Attendees are encouraged but not required to contribute to the potluck (we do not want it to be an obstacle to attendance).

You may contribute a commercially prepared or homemade dish.

To help those with dietary restrictions, please bring a list of ingredients. If you are bringing a commercially prepared dish, please bring its packaging, too.

Don’t forget your serving spoon (or fork or tongs or …).

Plates, bowls, cups, and utensils for dining will be provided.

Showcases

The showcases will be very low-key (and participation is entirely optional), but we want our graduates to have the opportunity to show us what they’ve been up to since graduation!

In addition to short performances (about 3 minutes), we will make space to display static works as well.

The space has a piano and a small projection screen.

Memory Book

We would like to assemble a Memory Book (in PDF form) about our graduates — and we need your help to make that happen. For those who choose to participate, please share what you’ve been up to since graduating on this Google Form:

COVID-19

Attendees are encouraged to wear masks while indoors.

We will be making use of the picnic tables and setting up a few additional tables and chairs outside (how many will depend on final attendance numbers) for those more comfortable socializing outside.

Indoors, we will be using our co-op’s Corsi-Rosenthal boxes for increased air filtration in the Fellowship Hall.

This is a PHS Alumni event, not a Planet Homeschool event, but all attendees should be aware that Planet Homeschool continues its longstanding tradition of striving to create a welcoming, inclusive, and safe space for all our families including for those at higher risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19, so choosing to wear a mask while indoors will be greatly appreciated.

The Space

Photos of the room where our 25th Anniversary Reunion & Celebration will be held. There are many more tables and chairs in the storage room.

(These are photos of how our co-op wanted to leave the space at the end of PHS last spring — set up with a dance floor for a square dancing group that used the space on a different day.)

Planet Homeschool Newsletter

The Planet Homeschool Newsletter is for PHS Alumni and other interested community members to keep abreast of what’s happening at Planet Homeschool (current members and instructors should check our co-op’s forums to keep abreast of co-op news.).

Newsletters are sent sporadically. The primary topics are:

• PHS Presents! Performances and exhibits by PHS classes that are open to the general public.
• Fundraising appeals. Our co-op’s goal is to cover all expenses through membership fees, but sometimes there are special purchases, unexpected expenses, or dips in income (such as caused by the COVID-19 pandemic).
• Alumni events and news. Reunion plans or newsworthy accomplishments by our graduates.
• Call for class proposals. While you may not be interested in teaching yourself, perhaps you’ll know someone who is.

The mailing list signup form ask for your mailing address by default but you only need to provide your name and email address.
