Great Article

There was a great article written forthe Botetourt View!! I appreciate Laura Wade taking the time and effort to submit this for publication. She did a great job :)

Park Days

We will be meeting at area parks on Fridays at 11 am. On May 1st we will be at Bonsack Park near Bonsack Elementary behind Walmart. If you would like to meet us, come on out. We will eat a packed lunch together around noon. Next Friday, we will be going to the Science Museum.

I will be attending a practicum in Williamsburg, Monday-Wednesday, and may not be able to answer emails promptly.

I am still looking for an Essentials tutor and one for 5th/6th grade. If you meet the requirements and are able to attend training in June, please let me know.

Tutor for Journeymen

We have someone to tutor the 3rd/4th graders!! I'm excited to see how the Lord is answering prayer. Please keep praying for two more tutors. I encourage you to attend a practicum if you are interested in learning more about the classical model of education.

Parent Practicum

For 3 days each summer, adults who love learning the classical model meet to refresh their understanding of the classical model, to practice thinking like classical educators, and to receive training in the classical model of education. These events are similar to intensive teacher in-service training, so parents return year after year. The Parent Practicum in Blacksburg is open for registration. It will meet June 15th-16th. It is free to attend. There are camps available for the children of parents attending the practicum. There is a fee for the camp and they fill up early.

Hope to see you there!!!

The Last Info Meeting

The meeting on March 7th was attended by parents (and grandparent) of older children. It is exciting to see the many families who are thinking about homeschooling again (after sending to school) or for the first time. I will be praying for these families as they make decisions for their children's future education.

The Roanoke group's Foundation program is full. I expect to receive more inquiries in the future due to the referrals they are sending my way.

I will plan to have info meetings at the end of April and first part of May. I will post the dates after they are approved by the church.

Please continue to pray for this ministry.
