HOMESCHOOLING MOM EVENT

It is that time of the year, MOMS!  As homeschooling moms, we begin to wonder if we are doing enough, if we will finish everything we need to do, or if we should even homeschool again next year?  These nagging thoughts plague us this time of the year as we begin to plan for the next school year and as we try to finish this year strong!  FUN Friends you are INVITED!

Join us for a weekend of encouragement, refreshment, and fellowship!  It is just what we need this time of the year!  Rebecca Kosis, CHEA General Manager, will be a guest speaker on Friday night and will be available to answer questions about the upcoming bills threatening homeschooling in CA.  Saturday, Carrie De Francisco, will be teaching from the Book of Nehemiah on how to be victorious while on this homeschooling journey as well as how to simplify, destress and detox our homeschooling schedules, curriculums and lifestyle!  Rebekah Mackie will be sharing her powerful testimony on how to choose Faith over Fear.  And on Saturday afternoon, there will be a discussion panel and Q & A Session on Homeschooling High School.  Guest speakers such as Carolyn and Marty Forte, Matt Sanders, and reps from the Master’s University will be there to answer all of your high school and college questions.  For more info on the event, please visit:  Healthy Homeschooling Mom Event

Robotics Level 1 REPRISE

Robotics Level 1 was so popular in September, we are offering it AGAIN!

8 Week Session:  April 11th – May 30th  To register, please contact Carrie De Francisco at c3@mdcbiz.com.  Limited space available.  Only a few spots left.

$250 (Robot included):  All Charter Funds Accepted (There is an additional $25 processing fee for tuition payment with charter school funds.)

Here are THREE reasons why you might want to take this class:

1. Robotics classes increase creativity and prepare students for the workforce. Jobs in the STEM field are the fastest growing careers and are projected to grow over 17% in the next decade!
2. Next year, FUNdamentals will be offering over 8 STEM & Robotics classes.  Several of the programming classes and the Inventor Series classes require Robotics Level 1 as a pre-requisite.  If you think your child will want to sign up for some of these awesome classes next year, get a head start by taking the pre-requisite (Robotics Level 1) this Spring!
3. It’s FUN!  Just ask any of our FUN students who took the class in the Fall!

 

***In order to take Robotics Level 1 class on Wednesdays @ FUNdamentals, you must be officially enrolled with FUNdamentals first.  Contact Carrie De Francisco to register (c3@mdcbiz.com)***
