Aiming for College
We’ve all been asked, “But can they get into college?” The answer is a resounding yes! Homeschoolers not only get in, but they are often highly recruited
and are offered scholarships as well! Come find out how to: choose colleges, make a college visit count, apply for admission and scholarships, demonstrate
your record, get financial aid, and decide on a college. Get filled in on all those mystifying things: ECs, FAFSA, PROFILE, ACT, SAT, AP, CC, and CommonApp.
Melanie Young has served for many years on scholarship committees and has spent the last few years helping her son and others through the
admissions process. Now she’d like to help you!

Healing Wounds in a Family Between Generations
All too many homeschool families struggle along alone and discouraged with the hurt and wounds that come from anger, controlling relationships, rejection,
fear, insecurity, and relational brokenness. That’s our family’s story as well. This session attacks these issues head-on. We share from our experiences,
struggles, and failures how God wants to equip each of us to engage and heal the brokenness of our lives between generations, which will enable
our children to break free of the negative multi-generational patterns of belief and behavior that were passed down to us.

Time Management: Getting Done What Truly Matters
Have you every wished there were more hours in your day to get everything on your “TO DO List” completed? God has wisely created the cycle of a 24
hour period for us to accomplish everything He has ordained for us to do. This workshop will focus on how to get rid of the distractions, activities and the
things that hinder us, and redeem the wasted time in order to fulfill God’s plan for your family. You’ll even get dinner on the table!

Learning from Dad
When Dad teaches, that’s the “ultimate education!” Children respond most to what they learn from Dad. He is the most influential authority in their life. He
is the pacesetter, protector, and provider of the family. What is the most important thing for a Dad to teach? How can a busy Dad find the time? This session
will encourage fathers by giving them added vision and useful tools. It will address the essentials that fathers need to teach and will provide practical help,
encouragement, and ideas. This session is for fathers only.

Wanna be a WAHM? The Pitfalls and Possibilities of Being a Work at Home Mom.
More and more homeschool mothers are becoming WAHMs (Work at Home Mothers). In this workshop, homeschooling mother and WAHM herself, Carol
Topp, CPA, will discuss how to start a home-based business, avoiding WAHM scams, and balancing homeschooling and working. She knows how, she’s
been doing it for nine years! As an accountant, Carol helps small, home-based businesses get off the ground. She’ll offer her professional knowledge and her
personal experience on being a WAHM in this helpful workshop
Mary Sayre
A Fate Worse than Death? Public Speaking for the Faint at Heart
What generates more fear than the prospects of being trapped in a burning car, walking through a cemetery at night, or discovering a rattlesnake curled up in
your bath tub? Believe it or not, it’s being asked to speak in public! According to The Book of Lists, public speaking is much scarier than disease and even
death. But your children don’t have to think this way. As a homeschooling parent, helping your child overcome this common fear is one of the most important
educational goals you can achieve. Although you have invested a great deal of time teaching your children to think from a biblical perspective, you must
equip them with the ability to communicate the truth. Mary Sayre shares practical advice from her personal experience in this down-to-earth discussion of
educational options available to your children. Learn how you can painlessly integrate public speaking into your own homeschool curriculum.

Developing the Essayist
What’s the difference between a “report” and an “essay”? How do we help a student move from simply reporting facts to the more sophisticated skill of using
facts in order to support an opinion? With several different essay models and a gradual method of building the analytical writer, you can feel confident in
training your child to be an excellent essay writer. Come and get the plan right now—you can even start the process at the elementary level!

Getting Them Ready to Learn and to Love it
The early years before children begin formal education is the time to show them that learning is fun and interesting. Elizabeth will present informal reading
and math “lessons” that not only teach, but help transition mom into their first teacher. Learning to seize teaching opportunities and apply wisdom to the
education process will help insure that our little ones will love learning and move easily into formal curriculum.
