We can’t wait to see you!!!
Don’t delay! Staying at the hotel makes convention even more awesome. Get a group of friends together for amazing girl time, or make it a family event. A couple of years I even made it a “mom getaway” and had the room all to myself.
There is nothing quite like the FPEA Convention to get you excited about homeschooling for the next year. The seminars available cover every topic imaginable and are led by experienced, knowledgeable people who are a great encouragement to the rest of us. There is nothing quite like the vendor hall. The saying “kid in a candy store” couldn’t be more apt here. Curriculum, games, organizational tools, and books abound. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity.
