Open House July 19th!

I hope that everyone is enjoying their summer.  I, wish the sun would come out more but can't complain about the temps.  Since it is the time of year that many are planning for the new school year, I have decided to have another open house this month.

Friday July 19th from 9-noon.  If you cannot make it then and would like to see what is available, please contact me and I will be glad to make an appointment with you.   Just call me at 747-1454.  

See you soon!

Next Open House

Hi all.  Well after getting a truck load and a half  of donations to the Curriculum Closet I think I will need a lot of you to come and take.  I have several weeks of sorting to do (not really, it just feels like it LOL) so I would like to set the next open house for Friday June 28th from 9-12.  I plan on having regular hours starting in the fall so stay tuned for that.  Have a blessed day!

Starting in late summer/early fall I would like to hold regular hours for people to come.  I'm thinking two days a week with four hour blocks each day.  I would love to know what days/hours works best for people so that I can accommodate you as much as possible. What do you think?

Don't forget!  The next open house is scheduled for May 4th (Saturday) from 9-12p.  Hope to see you then.

February Open House

Hello everyone I hope all is well with you.  I am sorry that I am so lat this month in getting to an open house but I clearly have forgotten that this is a shorter month.  Because of this the next open house will technically be in March.  Wow Can't believe that spring is around the corner already.   The next open house will be:

Friday March 1,  from 9-12.

Please feel free to call me with questions or if you need directions.

I look forward to see you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello all.  I hope that you are all getting a good start to the new year.  I think Christmas went by way to fast. It was a much needed break for all of us here and we were sad to see it end.  The Curriculum Closet is in the process of reorganization and so I will need a few more weeks before I can have an open house. 

 The next open house will be  FRIDAY JANUARY 25TH FROM 9-12.  We have a ton of readers now as well as overflowing 3rd through 8th grade shelves.  Please let me know if there is anything you need and I will try to locate it for you.  As always, if you would like to donate you may do so at any time.  Feel free to contact me either by email or phone and I will be glad to give you directions.  

Have a blessed day,

Nikki

This will be the last open house until February of 2013.  If you need anything, or would like to come and see the closet, you are always free to call me and schedule a visit.  The closet is for everyone and I will always allow you to come and take from it.  Likewise, whenever you have a donation, please feel free to drop it off.  Someone is usually always here.  Thank you to all who have donated in the past.  With your help, the closet is blessing MANY families.  I look forward to see you at the next open house!

I look forward to seeing you this weekend at the next open house.

Hopefully the everyone is enjoying their summer.  After a long hot July I think I am finally ready to plan my next school year.  Do to my busy schedule, there will be only one open house in August.  September and October is football season so look for upcoming open houses to be on Fridays.

Getting Ready for the New School Year?

Hi there everyone.  As our school year is coming to an end, I am looking at all this stuff we have accumulated.  Wow! how does it pile up so fast?  Anyway, if you are feeling overwhelmed with stuff, let me help you get some of it your hands.  I am accepting donations of all grade level material.  I realize that a lot of you will be heading to conventions next month so I decided not to hold another open house until  the beginning of June.  Hopefully this will give everyone time to plan for next year and weed through the stuff they already have.  Please tell everyone you know about the closet.  I would love to have stuffed shelves for you to "shop" through come June. 

OPEN HOUSE:  JUNE 2nd from 9-12am

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a drop off time for your donation please feel free to call me at 747-1454 or email me at hensel_home@msn.com

Have a blessed day,

Nikki

September update

Hi there,


Well I  can't believe we have already started our first week of school.  It was a little rocky at first but we are slowly starting to work out the kinks.  I have got some great stuff in the last couple of days and am attempting to catalog everything so as to be better organized.  I won't be able to do an open house on Saturday morning because my youngest son has football games that morning.  Because of this I will be hosting the September open house on the following date:


Open House:  Friday, September 16th, 2011. From 9-12


As of right now it will still be held at my home, 9417 Marydale Lane.


If you or anyone you know would like to donate, please feel free to contact me at 260-747-1454 to set up a drop off time and/or get directions.  




Hope to see you there!

August 20th Open House

First I would like to thank all those who donated in the past to this cause.  Your donations did not stay on my shelves for long.  Almost all that was donated has found a home.  Know that your actions have blessed someone else!

After the success of the first two open houses, I am very excited about the up coming open house.  I have it set  for August 20 from 9am-12pm.  If you have anything educational in nature to donate please let me know and we can set up a time for drop off.  I will except books, games, video, and audio that is remotely educational in nature. 

Open House Success!

I would like to say thank you to everyone who was able to donate for the first open house for the Curriculum Closet.  You will be glad to know that most of what was brought was taken that day!  I am so glad that all who came were able to find something of interest to them.  I pray that it will help in your homeschooling this coming year. If you have anything that you would like to donate before the next open house, please contact me at 747-1454  to arrange a time to drop it off.

The next scheduled open house date is for July 16th from 9am to 12am. 

Hope to see you there!

New Curriculum Closet

Hi there and welcome to the Curriculum Closet.

I have started this closet as a place where you can get curriculum and books FREE.  Why free you ask?  Good question.  The primary reason is that it is my heart's desire is to give people the chance to homeschool even if their budget is super tight.  I have lots of curriculum ( most of it not complete) to share. My hope is that it might bless someone as they move through their own homeschooling experience.  A secondary reason would be to help those trying to clean out their closets of all the books they no longer want. 

I will be setting up a library in the coming weeks and would like to invite you to my first open house.

Saturday June 18th from 8am - noon

 This will be a time for you  to see what I have, get books you want, and drop off books you don't.  If you are looking for a specific item please let me know and I will be glad to see if I can find it for you.  I hope to have an open house on the third Saturday of every month from 8am - noon; I will keep you posted on this.
