Special Needs Workshop
Special Needs Workshop!!! Back By Popular Demand!
This is a time for you to be able to share together ideas and resources that work or don't work. Just a side note, We are super excited that a rep from Rainbow Resources will be joining us for the one at Family Vision Library. She will share curriculum/resources ideas that may benefit your special needs children and leave Kim Quon with resources to also share at the workshop in South County, so you won't be left out. (Note, she is not coming as a vendor to sell.)
Workshops are free, but we do need to know a head count. Please register on the FHE Events page. You will get a confirmation email and Kim will also send out a reminder the day before. Hope you can join us for one or both workshops.

S.H.A.R.E. is an independent support group founded and operated by volunteer parents who home educate their children in the Greater St. Louis Area. Families from all over the St. Louis region and nearby Illinois counties are members of SHARE, although we are based in the South City, South County and Mid County areas.
We are a diverse group of homeschoolers with a wide variety of learning and teaching styles. Some families are large, others are small; some are homeschooling veterans of twenty years, many are just beginning.
The majority of members are Christians and leadership is totally Christian; however, people of all faiths are welcome in S.H.A.R.E. We are united by our choice to homeschool our children and give them the best possible educational experience AND by our desire to protect homeschooling rights in Missouri and elsewhere.
Our main goal is to inform, equip and encourage families in their homeschooling journey!
S.H.A.R.E. offers many activities and classes to supplement and enrich your home education experience, including an E-NEWSLETTER that is filled with both upcoming SHARE activities and other opportunities that your homeschoolers may benefit from. Be the first to find out about such events as:
*HOMELINK CLASSES
*FIELD TRIPS
*PARTIES (volunteers needed!)
*DANCES AND THE PROM
*OUR ANNUAL ART GALA
*NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM (volunteers needed!)
*PROJECT FAIR
*GRADUATIONS

DID YOU KNOW? Anyone who is a SHARE member can check out books for 4 weeks and curriculum for an entire year!!!!

Cathajane Rieger will be there on Tuesdays from 2:30-4:00

Looking for How to Homeschool? Watch this!
We try to keep our SHARE membership as low as we can, and we never turn away a family for lack of funds. If God has blessed you, please consider making a donation to help defray this cost. Please enter the amount you wish to donate............and THANK YOU so much!

Bloom and Grow Speech Therapy
Does your child struggle with academics, vocabulary, following directions, or reading?
Detecting a speech or language problem can be tricky if you don’t know the traits of typical development. The simple rule of thumb is a language problem may exist if a child doesn’t understand and or express what they want to say, as well as other children of the same age. Research shows that the earlier problems are detected and treated, the better children progress, and keep pace with peers in learning and social relationships.
STACY BICK, former homeschooling mom and Speech Therapist at BLOOM AND GROW SPEECH THERAPY, now has openings to help your child with any concerns you may have from articulation, vocabulary, language, listening skills, auditory processing, stuttering, to vocal quality. She is offering a free 15 minute screening. And if therapy is needed, she offers a 50% discount to homeschooling families. Virtual therapy is also available, if desired!
Contact her at [email protected] or call 314-223-2289.
Speech and Debate Club
ARCH is an amazing community where children as young as ten can learn alongside seniors in high school. The lessons in rhetoric and public speaking will never be forgotten. This club is a must for any homeschooled child in St Louis!
We are a STOA speech and debate club that meets weekly:
South STL County (Rooftop Church) - Mondays from 2-5pm.
St. Charles County (Liberty Church) - Tuesdays from 7-9pm.
Club leader is Jeremy Zilkie.
(314) 489-4607
. Stoa Speech & Debate is for Christian homeschool students between the ages of 12-18.
· Students ages 10-11 can attend, but need to be “mature” in their educational interests and emotional development.
· The materials and concepts we cover can be challenging and require focus.

Josh & Lindsey Photography
Since I work on the website many hours a week, I thought it only fair that I get to plug my son's business. Please check out his website by clicking on the image below. Or visit his Facebook page, Josh & Lindsey Photo. Of course he does engagement photos and weddings, but he LOVES the family pictures. Your children will think he is fun! ~Cathy
