Workshop Weekend - JCHE School Year Kickoff! 9/7-8

Workshop Weekend - JCHE School Year Kickoff!

Jackson County Home Educators will present a Workshop Weekend with Jonathan Lewis, editor of Homeschool Enrichment Magazine, on Friday, September 7th and Saturday, September 8th in Medford at West Main Church of Christ (1701 West Main, Medford, cross street Columbus). Come and meet other home educators and be encouraged for the upcoming home school year!

We will be having a dessert on Friday evening at 7:00 with Jonathan's topic being "Strength in Our Convictions: Eight Reasons Why Homeschooling is Worth It". Then on Saturday morning, starting at 10:00 a.m., Jonathan will present "Tired, Overworked, Underappreciated, and. . . Changing the World?", which is directed to the home school moms. At the same time there will be a Dads panel discussion with "seasoned" home school dads to encourage other dads on the journey. JCHE will then provide lunch (included in the price), and a final wrap up with our main speaker will be at 1:00 -"Speaking Out: Five Reasons Why I'm Glad to be a Homeschool Graduate".

A session for teens Saturday evening is still in the works. Jonathan and his wife Linnea will be speaking to them at this dessert gathering and giving lots of time for Q&A. Childcare will be provided on Saturday. Pricing is as follows (and includes your whole family):

For JCHE subscribers: Friday only - $5; Saturday only - $15.00; both Friday and Saturday - $20.00.
