This homeschool year is going to be our best ever . . .


Happy Sunday, Reader!

As I warned, this week you'll be hearing from me a lot more! But I promise that each one of these emails will be full of info you don't want to miss (such as exclusive giveaways, the most up-to-date news, and more) so don't skip them! After this week, we'll go back to only emailing every week or two when we have news. Let's dig in with a few important updates.

Last Chance to Join the Virtual Homeschool Conference!

This is it, your last chance to sign up for our online homeschool event. We have an early-access session to our new Modular Math series (with early access to the free sample so you can see a preview of how it will work), an early-access session about High School and specifically how you can cover all the bases (and more) with Gather 'Round. We have homeschool tips and encouragement, worship and devotionals, and so much more!

Whether you need a nudge in the right direction, fresh perspective, or just a little bit of hope . . . join us from the comfort of you living room couch (you're welcome, introverts) and let's see what God will do! This event starts tomorrow, though you'll have all week to watch the replays if the schedule doesn't work for you. You also get entered to win a free year of math and you get access to our online sale one day early so that you can be at the front of the line to get your print orders, all for less than $30! Registration closes tomorrow and worship starts at 9am so don't miss out!

Gather 'Round Online Academy

If you missed the live, we are considering starting an online academy for this year. While my preference will always be in-person, I recognize that for both the sake of time and money, it just isn't always possible and many people are looking for additional support or connection (or maybe even motivation) for their kids. As promised, these are the units we are thinking for this year. While we aren't fully ready to release everything (we are still looking for online teachers), we would be starting September 8th and going in this order with a schedule of 4 days a week. We also hope to do it where you can sign up subscription style, hopping in and out as needed. If we get enough teachers and interest, we may even do specialized classes for things like Letters and Numbers, Ready to Read, our new Modular Math series, and Spanish (teachers, if you're interested in applying, click here).

For now, I wanted to get you the units specifically because you will need to have them in order to participate and I wanted you to be able to take advantage of the sale this week. Scan the QR code to join the list to get updates when we have more to share!

Our Back to School Sale is Starting in T-3 Days!

It is almost here! We are in the process of moving to a new location, getting new printers and equipment, and making sure we are ready to handle your school orders. With books made right here in the USA that are beautifully printed on high-end, buttery paper and bound (literally) by our family from our home to yours . . . this is your official excuse to give print a try. Check out this quick update and set a reminder, orders are printed in the order they are received so the sooner you get it in, the higher up you'll be on the list. Remember, we get severely backlogged in this season so if you are in pressing need to get something sooner, we recommend putting in your order before the sale so that you aren't stuck without anything.


I'll be back in your inbox tomorrow with some exciting updates and our countdown to the sale will continue! Until then . . .
