NMU Opportunity

PARENTS OF HIGH SCHOOLERS:

I (Kathy) have been in contact with a representative from NMU who informed me of this upcoming opportunity. If you have a high school student that is looking at college (whether it be NMU or some other college), this may be a great time to explore college life and talk to someone that is in your student's field of interest. There is a link on the following page to register and to see the schedule of activities.

Classical Conversations

Below is a message sent to our group regarding Classical Conversations. If anyone is interested, please contact Dennise at libertyff@gmail.com or her phone number below:

Hello,

My name is Dennise Wright and I am a Support Rep. for Classical Conversations in the Northern Michigan area.  I was hoping to meet some folks in your area and share the classical model of learning and the  Classical Conversations homes school program. I currently home school my children in the Traverse City area.  I was hoping to connect with homeschoolers in the UP. Please feel free to call or email. Thanks so much for your time.  Have a blessed day.

Blessings,

Dennise Wright
