Roller Skating
There will be a monthly homeschool roller skating activity throughout the
'11-'12 school year, hosted and coordinated by the North Knox Homeschool
Network. This event is open to all homeschoolers in the Knoxville area who
would like to attend. It will be held the 2nd Tuesday (*changed to Tuesdays
this year) of every month from September through May, from 1:30 to 3:30pm
at Skatetown in Fountain City/North Knoxville (5713/5 N. Broadway;
rink 865-688-1981). The cost is only $3, plus an additional $1 skate rental fee,
if skates are needed (or $2 for roller blades/inline skates rental). There is no charge
for people who do not wish to skate. There is no reservation/sign-up required, just
come when you can!
There is a snack bar, plenty of tables to sit at and eat or just talk (great for
moms who just want to chat), video games, etc. There are races and other fun
rink games, as well. This is a great way for parents and students of all ages to get
some exercise (especially ideal during the typically inactive winter months). Mark your
calendars now so you won't miss any of them!
Please keep in mind that we are a direct reflection of the home school community.
We want to represent it well. We also want to be welcomed back each year to
the skating rink. With that in mind, please note that each parent or guardian
is responsible for their own children during this time (clean up own mess, behavior,
modest dress, etc.). We want to leave the rink in a better condition than when we
entered. We also ask that you do not drop off your kids, unless you have pre-arranged
for another parent in attendance to watch and care for your child(ren).
