Winter Refresh
It’s the dead of winter, and life is just sort of dreary, and homeschooling isn’t as fun as it was back in the Fall. What to do?
Come to our Winter Refresh! Continental breakfast, lunch, and a panel of speakers all day who will answer your questions–yes, your questions, because each registrant may submit one question with her registration and we will answer it. Each member of our panel is an experienced homeschooling parent who will thoughtfully prepare the answers to each question. There will be time for discussion among the participants, as well. Whether you’re an experienced homeschooler or a first-year homeschooler, you’ll be refreshed and ready to continue on.
So join us on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at Norris Conference Center in Austin, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and bring a friend (the friend must also preregister). The deadline to preregister is January 10, 2025. There will be NO on-site registration.
