Mary received a few emails asking if she could set up this tour again as many missed it during the bad weather. So here is your third chance to visit the Federal Courthouse downtown. Cost is good--FREE! Although parking might be a challenge. But by May it should be warm enough for a nice walk from your car.

Homelink 

We are currently working on the schedule for
the 2025-26 school year, which we hope to
have out by the end of May.

The 2024-25 schedule is still up for you to view.
Many of the same classes will be offered again.

*The Homelink Learning Center is an"arm" of the S.H.A.R.E homeschool support group.
 
*You must be a member of SHARE to take Homelink classes;
however, as a member of SHARE, you do not
have to take classes.  (Many have asked.)

Click HERE to be taken to the Homelink PUBLIC HOME PAGE, where, if you scroll along, many of your other questions can be answered.

Also, tours of Homelink will be offered in April.

Cathy Mullins and her many helpers at Homelink!

Alison Hoffmann is on a hunt to find as much of these things as she can for her classes next year.

Please bring to Homelink any time through May 15th. Or bring to a SHARE event. Or save it all summer and bring it to Orientation Night if you are taking classes. THANKS!

Ice Skating Every Monday Afternoon for only $5.00!

PLEASE READ!!!
There will be no homeschool skate for the rest of 2024 (so no more this year).

In 2025 they will start up again on January 6th.
Last skate for the school year will be March 3rd.

They will close down the rink to do major repairs and they estimate it will be completed when next school year starts (hopefully in late August).

Thanks!
If you have any questions, please contact Lucille Sherry at

The original homeschool skate fell apart...this is the NEW one for the 2024-25 school year!

This is the same location where SHARE has their skating parties. You can skate with homeschoolers every month and not just occasionally!

This is for all SHARE members but it is held at Homelink.

No sign-up, just come!
Cost is free, but we love donations!

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 
(We hold 3!--Kindergarten, 8th grade, and High School)

*CHESS CLUB

*HOMESCHOOL BAND

and more!

Know anyone who wants info on homeschooling? Direct them to these great seminars! This is by far the best event to attend if you know very little about homeschooling in Missouri (sorry, not Illinois--they basically have no restrictions). All of your questions will get answered!

Go to our Events to register.
https://fhe-mo.org/events
Please make sure you add the event to your calendar. A confirmation email will be sent to you with all the zoom info, so check your Spam if you don't get it right away. And Kim will send out a reminder email the day before the event.

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

The SHARE Library is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays (and a Saturday once in awhile). You can use it on those days, but if you need the assistance of one of our volunteer librarians, here is the schedule:

Cathajane Rieger will be there on Tuesdays from 2:30-4:00
Karen Brandt will be there on Thursdays from 11:00-4:00

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.

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.
