Betsy Manley is the Founder and Executive Director of THRIVE Homeschool Enrichment Corporation. She lives in Resca, GA with her husband, Eric Manley, and children Victor, Eliana, Isaac, and Cadence. Her children are the reason she created THRIVE and the whole family will be at THRIVE all day every week in the Fall. Betsy also serves as the Chief Programming Officer for Community Housing Resource Partners, where she writes and implements curriculum, programming, and social services and plans monthly social events for 10,000+ families across Texas. She leads worship and a Connect Group (for homeschool families!) at Rock Bridge Community Church in Calhoun, and is the Administrator of the Gordon County Homeschool Community Facebook Group. She also started and runs the Gordon County Branch of Little Seedlings, a Homeschool Bible Study and meet up group with branches all over North Georgia. No matter which hat she's wearing, Betsy's goal is to create spaces where families and children feel supported, heard, and welcomed, and she hopes that THRIVE is that place for your family.
Mrs. Kayla Patterson
Hi THRIVE families!! I'm so happy to be back to teach with THRIVE this semester. Last year was our first year homeschooling. We made it through first grade with flying colors! My oldest daughter, Alanna, has been begging to take Lego Challenge since she found out about it. Little did she know, she's got her mom as her instructor! I'm a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant working in Urgent Care and taught First Aid the very first semester THRIVE was established. This semester I will be teaching Lego Challenge and brand new to THRIVE, The Tuttle Twins! I'm so excited to be more involved with THRIVE this semester! Keep an eye out for Alanna and occassionally Jorie and Bri making an appearance.
