Riverside County
Delivering the Heart of Homeschooling
Week of October 14th, 2019
Hello Riverside County!
Autumn sets in with its cool evenings, prompting us to pull out the sweaters for the evening activities. The leaves crunch beneath our feet on our exploratory afternoon walk. Oh, how I love this time of year where the weather allows a more pleasant time to be spent outside and, more importantly, added snuggles with our children!
Share your photos of your favorite highlights from last week on social media and use the hashtags #AdventuresWithInspire and #HowIHomeschoolWithInspire!
It's fun to see what you are all doing and experiencing!
In this week's newsletter, we spotlight Inspire's
Online Subscription Package option - TutorMe!
Also included is information on upcoming community events and field trips!
Please reach out anytime and get to know us!
We are so happy to answer all of your questions and guide you through
learning about homeschool philosophy, curriculum, and the homeschool lifestyle!
Don't let yourself drown in worry or fear over homeschooling.
If you find yourself there, reach out!
We hope to connect with you soon,
Audrey & Candice

Hi everyone! I am a mom of 3 awesome kids ranging in age from 11 to 7 years old. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been married for 16 years. Having homeschooled our children over the last 7 years in 3 different states, I've found homeschooling here in California, especially with Inspire Charter, has been a great fit for our homeschool journey. I am grateful for our ability to homeschool so freely and I aspire to assist other families with their own homeschool adventures!
