We are hosting an informational meeting on Thursday, February 13th, from 7:00-8:00 PM at the Morton Apostolic Christian Fellowship Hall (2177 Veterans Road, Morton, IL 61550). As homeschooling continues to grow within our community, many families are seeking guidance, encouragement, and resources to help them along the way. Our goal is to equip, encourage, and connect homeschooling families in a way that is firmly rooted in faith and family values. While we do not yet have a physical building, we are starting with local events, vendor fairs, and an online presence, with the hope of providing a space where families can access curriculum guidance, used book consignment, workshops, and other support. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if I can be of any help. I look forward to the opportunity to share more with you.
