2009 Introduction to Homeschooling Workshop
We
are planning our annual Introduction to Homeschooling
Luncheon
for
Sunday, August 30, 2009 at the Paradise Bakery in Mesa on Val Vista and
Baseline from 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM. The cost is $10 per person (to cover
the cost of lunch and the room). This luncheon/workshop is
for
families who are new to
homeschooling, as well as those who are still fairly new and have
questions. We will have a panel of veteran homeschoolers
speaking
about the various issues that have shaped the way they homeschool.
There will also be a question and answer session at the end
to give
attendees a chance to get information pertinent to their homeschooling
scenario. Click

" What is most important and valuable about the home as a base for children's growth into the world is not that it is a better school than the schools, but that it isn't a school at all."

Mom's Night Out
Join
us for a Mom's Night out on Thursday, December 17, 2009 at 6:00 PM at
the Wildflower Bread Company in Mesa (located at the N/W corner of
Baseline and Val Vista). Actually, it's located on Baseline just a
little west of Val Vista on the south side of Baseline.
Take a break from the daily grind and get together with the Summit View Moms for an evening of "Mom" time. Come for dinner - or just for dessert and a beverage. We'd love to see you there!
