Sampling of this year's activities...

Since this is an unofficial website for QACHE, I will mention a few things we have going on & if you would like more info you can either leave a comment or email me.  Then I'll fwd your question or inquiry to the correct person for that activity or class :0)  There is something going on nearly every day right now!  If you have a spouse, child or grandparent who is questioning your decision for the sake of 'socialization' - they needn't worry...and besides...ANY socialization homeschool children receive is in the real world with a variety of ages.  How real is being segregated by age & ability, really?

Having fun with the preschoolers!

 Picture day is coming up - yes, they look a lot like what you would receive in a school (maybe better!) & will also appear in our yearbook (which is full color & really nice).  Families are encouraged to participate no matter the age.
