Thank you to our Sponsor – A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood Movie!

Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. After a jaded magazine writer (Emmy winner Matthew Rhys) is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his skepticism, learning about kindness, love and forgiveness from America’s most beloved neighbor.

Wild Florida-Live Free 2019 Convention

Podcast #69

Suzanne and I walk through the Convention program in this podcast. We look at some of the new events happening this year. We also talk about what parts of the program are very useful to new convention attendees.

I want to invite you to attend the 2019 Annual FPEA Florida Homeschool
Convention. We are celebrating this year with the theme, Wild Florida – Live
Free! Our freedom to explore is intricately aligned with our freedom to homeschool. The Convention is scheduled for May 23-25, 2019, at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., a venue that truly embraces Florida’s wild heritage and vintage charm.

We are the biggest and the best Convention for homeschooling families
in the country. There is something for everyone – education, entertainment,
encouragement and great shopping! This year we are excited to bring you
two incredible keynote speakers. Todd Wilson will be greeting us Friday morning with all of the wit and
encouragement the Familyman has to offer. Saturday morning, we’ll welcome Florida’s own Connie Albers who will offer up her special flavor of inspiration to encourage us to embrace our own unique journey. These are only two from the exciting slate of speakers we have in store for you. Some are familiar faces, but some, like author Melanie Dickerson and the Hip Homeschool Moms, are making their first appearance at our Convention. All of our speakers and each of their sessions have been carefully selected to help us celebrate our freedom to homeschool as we see fit.

Take your time to peruse these offerings as well as the many exciting events for the entire family. Then, log onto www.fpea.com and REGISTER!

Looking Forward to Seeing You There!

Florida’s largest nonprofit, all-inclusive homeschool family association Supporting Your Homeschool Journey

Choosing to homeschool is a decision that requires careful consideration of many factors, and the choice to homeschool is one of several education options in Florida. Homeschooling can be extremely successful and truly enables your children to “learn without boundaries.” We encourage you to explore fully this option for educating your children.

The FPEA also provides a more detailed resource, the Guide to Homeschooling in Florida, which covers homeschooling in greater depth. One benefit of FPEA membership is free online access to this 100-plus-page resource. The Guide contains information on educational methods, curriculum resources, your legal responsibilities, where to find additional support and/or accountability, homeschooling high school students and teaching special-needs children, as well as helpful forms.
