++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ We have had 2 wonderful Zoom Discussions with our Home School Educators! We have had the huge honor to hold two Home School Curricula Collaboration Discussions with some very experienced Home School Educators. Thank you to all who attended! Thank you, Jan Wilton, our NEW Council member who represents homeschoolers. To all of you - your insight, experience and recommendations will provide strong footing for those who are just starting out, just need some support, or are considering whether or not to Home School. In the very near future, we will be publishing a list of curriculum that has been recommended and we are also working on a booklet to help those planning to homeschool. Be watching for those! There has never been a stronger interest in educating at home and NEW stands ready to support homeschoolers with guidance and resources.
