Weekly Gatherings
We meet regularly throughout the year for organized activities, field trips, social events, and more. From Christmas parties to summer park meet-ups, there's always something to look forward to. Our weekly email update keeps every family in the loop.

What a Year!
We wrapped up another incredible season of PHEA Physical Education and we couldn't be more grateful. This year 108 kids showed up, gave it their all, and made memories together — and that's something worth celebrating!
A huge thank you to our 3 assistant coaches who gave their time and energy week after week to make every Tuesday afternoon something the kids looked forward to. And a very special thank you to Coach Helanna, whose dedication, patience, and enthusiasm made this program everything it is. You are so appreciated!
We're already looking forward to next year. Registration for the 2025/26 Sports Program opens soon — watch this space!

Email Issues
How should I set my email preferences on the registration form?
AnswerThe 'Weekly Email Update' is an automatic email that comes to your inbox on Saturday mornings. It will remind you of current events on the PHEA calendar, and let you know of any updates on the website pages. For busy families, this weekly reminder is a good way of keeping connected to PHEA.
The 'Forum Emails' is the chatroom or the regular notes that we send to each other & will arrive directly to your inbox. Choose to receive each email immediately OR bundled in a daily digest. (If you prefer to say "no" to forum emails, they won't come to your inbox, but you can still access them on our website by going to Group Email. )
The Forum 'Categories' allow you to chose which emails you receive. If you'd rather not receive emails about 'Field Trips', for example, uncheck that box.
The 'Classifieds' are emails generated by the Classifieds tool about what other PHEA members are giving away, selling, or wanting. You can choose to either bundle these in a digest or visit the Classifieds link on our website instead of receiving them immediately.
Members, you can change your email preferences at any time by clicking on "Profile" in the top menu. By registering, you are giving your consent to receive PHEA member emails & you acknowledge that our website uses analytical info.
Be sure to have [email protected] included in your contacts. It is not spam! Homeschool-Life is our website company. If you stop receiving PHEA emails, please check your spam folder and update your contacts.
