Please go to the link below to make a donation online:
You can also make a donation via check or cash by mail or in person at the EE campus. 9522 Carraway, Magnolia, TX 77354.
If your family was affected by the storm and you would like to apply to receive a scholarship, please let the EE office know by sending a message to office@extraed.org .

EE Update

Many have asked about how the EE campus fared during the floods. Thankfully, the Lord spared us, and we did not get any storm water in the buildings. We do still have other construction and repairs to complete from the plumbing leaks that happened the week before school started. We are hopeful that situation can be repaired quickly so that our contractors can move on to help Harvey victims.

We know of at least two teachers who got water in their homes. We do not have any information about other affected families, but we have received have MANY offers of help from our families. If your family was affected, please let us know! You can send a message to office@extraed.org . We have many people who very much want to help wherever it is needed.

We are praying for all who are affected. God bless Houston!

Classes cancelled through September 4th

This is just a reminder that we have decided to cancel classes for the remainder of the week. We will return on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5th.

If your family has been affected by the flooding or has needs that our EE families can help fill, please send a message to office@extraed.org. Other EE families are eager to help!

Please note that enrolled families should have received a notification about class cancelations via email and text message. If you did not receive a message, please check your spam folder and update your email settings to allow messages from our mailing system. Please also remember to update your text notification settings. All of the instructions are included in your Parent Orientation course.

Some of your child's teachers may send home assignments to be completed this week. If you have the means to do so, this might help keep your kids occupied. :-) Be looking for those emails separately.

Stay safe and dry, and let us know of any needs we can help with!

Greece Trip June 2018–Info Meeting Aug 22

WE HAVE GREAT NEWS!!!  WE WILL NOW BE TRAVELING TO GREECE “IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF PAUL” FROM JUNE 20-30, 2018, and you're all invited to join us!!!  

An  informational meeting for our trip to Greece/Turkey will be held on Tuesday, August 22, 2017 at 5:00 PM* in the Passion Vine room on the Extraordinary Education campus. In order to get $200 off of the trip cost and be guaranteed  $600 off of the airfare and a spot on the tour, you must enroll with Renee Campbell no later than November 25th, so if you can't come to this meeting, but want to travel with us, please see the note at the end of this email for additional information.

*Free backpacks are available for those who attend the meeting on Tuesday!

This eleven day trip will take you to the famous sites of Ancient Greece (Athens, Delphi, Thermopylae, etc.), includes travel on a cruise ship in the Aegean Sea  that stops at three different islands (one per day), then pops on over to Turkey for a little visit, and explores the cities and towns related to the Apostle Paul's journey to spread Christianity (like Corinth, Philippi, Thessaloniki, etc.), all while making memories that will truly last a lifetime!

I've chosen a new travel company for this trip (same  basic costs but better meals  -- with three entree choices for dinner, better hotels, they carry your luggage to and from your room for you, headsets for all, and more) and with that comes the ability for families to travel together, no matter the age of the children (although I still wouldn't recommend these types of trips for any child under the age of ten.)  All adults ages 18 and up are welcome to travel with us with no restrictions; teens aged 16 & 17 can travel without their own parent if they have a "surrogate/chaperone" parent (which, with permission, could be me or another adult) traveling with them.

I look forward to seeing you at the meeting, answering questions in person or via email, and sharing a fabulous traveling experience with you all!

Renee Campbell
