Annual Homework Challenge!
Objective:  To motivate students to develop a habit of getting their homework from school done, and to positively reinforce those who choose to pursue academic excellence. Good leaders are always learning, and building their knowledge base. Education is a lifetime pursuit.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Parents and their kids can register for the homework challenge by phone, email, or in person. Parents every time your child does his/her homework without being asked they can get a check on their chart. Once their chart is completed then they can bring their chart back to us and receive invitations for themselves and friends and family to our Homework Winners Party on October 29, 2011. From 1:00-4:00 pm (The party is an open house style party so you can come for an hour or for the whole time if you would like).  They will then receive: blue tip for education on their belt.  An invitation to the homework winners party (big bouncy, costume contests, popcorn, carnival games, and a chance to break a board).  Kids will learn how to break the board and be able to break it at the party in front of their family, friends, and peers!

Frequently Asked questions:
What if my child doesn’t have homework yet? 

Reading on one’s own daily, and or with a parent can count as completing homework. MI public schools recommend 10 minutes a night reading for kindergarten, and 20 for first grader and so on. Early reading (pre-k and before) and exposure to literature shows direct correlation to later academic success.

What is the cost?

Free to those who complete the challenge and a donation of a minim of 5 cans of food to be donated to the food bank
