Just wanted to let everyone know about a new homeschooling group in the Somers, CT area. People from all towns are welcome to attend. The group is called "SHINE". SHINE: Supporting Homeschoolers in New England is an educational and social sharing group focusing on children ages 8 to 13 with younger and older siblings welcome. They meet twice per month on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays from 12:30pm to 2:30pm. On average, once a month they will do a field trip and once a month they will have a educational/ social get together with a specific theme for that event. They meet in Somers, CT for their gatherings.
All homeschoolers and potential homeschoolers of all ages are welcome to join their Yahoo Group, field trips and get togethers. Feel free to contact Donna at donnateacher@verizon.net or check out their Yahoo Group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SHINE-Homeschooling/
SHINE presents a safe environment for homeschoolers to socialize, grow and learn together. Their Yahoo Group offers parents and caregivers of homeschoolers the opportunity to ask questions, arrange outings, encourage one another and communicate in an open-minded and supportive environment.
