JANUARY WORKSHOPS
It's almost the end of the year and for many that means withdrawing
from public school. Many families are deciding to not return to school
after the Christmas break. There are a variety of reasons and each one
is important to that family. Our goal is to help those who are looking for
the next step after the New Year begins. On January 16, 2010, SETHSA
is excited to have the homeschool stores participate together in offering
help to new homeschoolers. Each of the stores will be offering a mini
workshop to introduce families to homeschool and help them with all of
the details for getting started. There will be staff at the store during the
day to counsel with and provide necessary information to those seeking
to homeschool.
Please keep this event in mind for someone you know who is considering
homeschooling in the New Year. You may run across someone in your
church, neighborhood, or even your very own family. You can give them
our web address www.sethsa.org for all the details.
