Here's What Workshop Attendees Are Saying

"Thank you for having the Zoom meeting this weekend.  My daughter and her husband have decided to homeschool!! My daughter was on the fence and after the meeting she and her husband decided it is the best thing for their daughter this year.  We have the letter of intent to go in the mail today."

"Thank you for your encouragement, your time for answering our questions and giving us the confidence to do homeschooling.  We are looking forward to being a homeschool family!"

-- V.G.

"I want to tell you how much the support from HOME has meant in these weeks of preparing to homeschool my nephew. I loved the Start Right class, especially the chat times. I am probably one of your oldest, first- time homeschoolers at 78, but all the support has reassured me that I can do this, it is going to be a great experience. "

-- B.C.

 

"I attended the Getting Started workshop, along with my mom and daughter, and wanted to say   thank you for everything you are doing to support and encourage homeschooling in Maine. God   must be very pleased with your efforts on His behalf. The workshop couldn't have been any   more affirming for me, and really brought my mom in on the big picture in a way I never could   have done myself."
