April Monthly Meeting

Have you met “The Curriculum Doctors”? And by curriculum doctors I mean they are knowledgeable about all things curriculum! They enjoy assisting you in picking curriculum, determining your students learning styles, and offering you words of encouragement to get you through those long homeschool days. Have you been wondering what curriculum you should be using next year? What is best for your child’s learning style—or for your family? Then you are in luck! The Curriculum Doctors from Moore Expressions will be in the house at our next monthly meeting on Tuesday, April 9th. Ask them anything and they will answer. Please join us at this fun, favorite, enlightening meeting. You won't be sorry and remember our meetings are open to all so bring a friend or two that might want to homeschool but don't know which curriculum to use or where to start. This is one you don’t want to miss. We hope to see you there.
