SETHSA HOMESCHOOL WORKSHOPS ON JANUARY 10TH
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 10, 2009, 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 stores during the day to counsel with and provide necessary information to those seeking to homeschool.
