"I am a veteran homeschool Mom who has successfully graduated two young men, and since have helped many others to succeed. My initial 16 years of work experience was in the information technology industry. hold a Bachelors of Music with Musicology and Music Composition from the University of South Africa. During these studies completed several courses, which covered the entire spectrum of human development, from a physical, cognitive and psychological perspective. am a proponent for lifelong learning and am currently still enrolled at my Alma Mater, reading different subjects, which interest me. This enables me to stay in-touch with social and academic developments at various levels. As a member of several homeschool and other organizations hone my skills and knowledge of advancements in the homeschool environment.
Educating my own boys has taught me much about working diligently and faithfully towards a positive outcome. Sharing my own experiences in order to help other families facilitate good outcomes is what I strive for. I continually seek wise mentors to learn from, and most often students are my best teachers! They hold fresh new perspectives and have relevant opinions. I am an active advocate for keeping the ‘HARMONIUS HOME’ in homeschooling."

- Box Tops for Education
We're so grateful that we have a new homeschool mom Denfis Morales, our volunteer to collect the Box Tops for this year 2018-2019. Thank you Denfis!
Keep bringing those Box Tops! Collecting box tops is an EASY way to help our group get funding for prizes, parties, and other activities. Just look for the white squares with the pink file folder marked BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION on many of the brands you already buy. Simply cut them out, collect in a plastic baggie, and bring to the park meeting. Please trim your box tops before bringing them in, but be careful not to cut the expiration date! You can even ask grandparents and relatives to collect for you, as well.
- Blessed Table
Donation of school supplies or curricula that you no longer need. You can also donate clothes. Please just remember to pick up your items if they are not taken.
- Library: Our librarian Gemma Kibben will bring our mobile library. Please stop to take a look to the new books that she has added to enrich our Wellington library selection.
Support and encouragement for parents and park play time for kids of all ages. The park has a playground, climbing rock, swings, and a skate park. Each family is responsible for their own child's safety.
