The seasons are changing, and we have moved into the 4th quarter of this school year. Enrichment Adventures are wrapping up, and our CAASSP testing is in full swing.

How to Return Enrichment Items
When you are ready to return the non-consumable educational items you ordered from the Enrichment System, they can be returned to the Lending Library or to your HST.
Please fill out one form per student, and list items individually.
You may keep items from year to year, as long as you remain enrolled in Inspire. Items returned will be placed in the Lending Library to be used by other families.
If the link to download this form does not work, I have also attached it to the email. You can also request this form from your HST.

Vendor Spotlight
California Homeschool Parent Association
Parents will have the opportunity to join our new Inspire parent non-profit group. This will be a separate non-profit organization for the parents, organized and lead by parents. Even though it is exclusive to Inspire parents, it will be called California Homeschool Parent Association (CHPA). It will be a statewide PTO/Booster organization that has local divisions in general by county. All county parent leaders will be chosen by the parents.
Central Valley Homeschool Convention -- Fresno
The list of vendors attending just keeps growing, and the speakers who are coming should be so encouraging to you on your homeschool journey.
