What Can I Do For Lighthouse?
Lighthouse is dependent upon its members to arrange field trips. Perhaps the most important way you can help is by arranging a field trip. Be alert for ideas throughout the year. Consider planning a field trip for the coming year.

Lighthouse participates in Box Tops for Education to help generate funds for our organization. The Box Tops for Education Clip program allows you to earn cash for Lighthouse every time you buy groceries! Please deposit your Box Top coupons in the designated container at the Teachers Meetings. (A list of participating products can be found here.) Each one is worth 10¢. We hope to raise around $150 to be used to help fund Recognition Night and other Lighthouse events.

Here’s a list of even more ideas!

  • help set up for events or clean up after
  • submit a recipe, homeschooling tip or book review to the newsletter
  • make a donation to Lighthouse (for special hand-outs, host church, Recognition Night)
  • let others review your curriculum materials
  • arrange a small group play day with families of children near the ages of yours
  • participate in and help with Recognition Night
  • help with the Thanksgiving Celebration
  • help with the Christmas cards and caroling activities
  • make a donation to the Home Education Foundation on your own
  • present a workshop or class for Lighthouse students
  • provide child care for younger children so older ones can attend a field trip
  • offer to take an older child on a field trip in exchange for the care of your younger child
  • arrange and oversee a science lab
  • arrange a speech performance by Lighthouse students -- stories, reports, verses, poems
  • coordinate an art show or contest for Lighthouse students



Participation in the group by its members is expected and needed. But it's easy to help out.

A cooperative is operated not only by each member contributing ideas but also following through with plans, arranging the trips, and making it become a reality.

You will also discover other opportunities throughout the year.
