Additional Information

NearHim Home Educators February Parent Gathering: 

Please note that this month, we will have two separate topics for you to choose from: a Dual Enrollment Panel, geared towards middle/high school parents and The Value of Read Alouds in Your Homeschool, open to all.

Dual Enrollment Panel will meet in the Spurgeon Room

Many homeschooling families take advantage of the opportunity of dual enrollment, taking college classes that count for both high school and college credit. Naturally, parents have many questions, ranging from the benefits and cons to the practicalities and requirements. Join us in welcoming our panel of speakers, Renee Hays, Beth Goodale, and Heather Mullins. They will present valuable information and can offer a parent/student perspective. Renee has experience with Seminole State College, Beth has experience with Daytona State College, and Heather has experience with Valencia College. Come ready to ask questions and to find out more about this great learning option for our students.

The Value of Read Alouds in Your Homeschool will meet in the Perpetua Room

Research has shown what we all know in our hearts — reading aloud to our children fosters family connections, improves academic achievements, and prepares students for life challenges. Melissa Lewis and Sarah Margheim will discuss some of these benefits and offer practical ideas and recommendations to make reading aloud a family favorite in your house.

This gathering is open to the public. Invite your friends! We'd love to meet you and visit with you. It's always a good idea to know what's available to homeschoolers in our community. 

If you are new to homeschooling or interested in finding out more, we'd love to connect with you and answer any questions. At 6:30, we have time set aside for a Homeschooling Q&A in the Perpetua Room.
