Continuing to discuss the issues

Some of you who attended the meeting on October 20th have emailed and said that you were interested in continuing the discussion concerning issues facing homeschoolers.

I am very interested as well and would be happy to set up a day where we could have a roundtable discussion.

Please respond here or email me if you are interested. -- Mary

A NE Ohio Co-op Announcement

I promised Holly from our meeting that I would share this. Here you go Holly and I hope you get many participants.

Attention : Homeschoolers

The Northern Ohio Co-op would like to invite area homeschoolers to our upcoming meeting.

When: Friday, October 26, 10AM - Noon

Where: Independence Library Large Meeting Room 216-447-0160

What: This month's theme is APPLES We will have apple activities, an apple craft and even make fresh blender applesauce!

Everything is supplied and free of charge!

All ages welcome; we are actively seeking those with children ages 8-13 to join our group so that we can have a nice mix of ages for our activities. There are no fees to join, it's totally free, no activities to volunteer for, no added pressure to you busy schedule! I only ask that you stay with your child(ren) and assist them as needed during the program so they get the most out of it. The shared experiences of homeschooling between you and your child(ren) is, in my opinion, one of the greatest benefits of homeschooling.

Thank you!

I would personally like to thank everyone who attended the gathering on Saturday. Also, everyone who helped make the day possible- thank you- you each know who you are. The day would not have happened without you.

Also, many thanks to Home Education Magazine for bringing us Susan and Valerie. If you don't subscribe now, you should consider it. I know I'm prejudiced, but in addition to being an excellent magazine, the publishers are some of the most tireless advocates for home education rights that I know of. Finally, thanks to Ruth Radney, Susan Ryan and Valerie Bonham Moon for their insight.
