NOT Going Back To School Picnic

September is a very special month when we rev up our engines and prepare to kick-off another great year with Grassroots Homeschoolers! As is tradition, we will start the new homeschooling year with our annual NOT Back To School Picnic held annually on the first Wednesday of September. Print out our flier and mark your calendar!

The picnic will be held at the St. Paul Church gymnasium, located at 6201 W. Vollmer Rd, Matteson, IL. The picnic begins at 11:30 AM. Masks are optional during indoor play sessions.

The picnic is open to all families interested in learning more about our cooperative, and homeschooling in general. We will use some of our time, to plan upcoming Gathering Day Activities, as well as discuss possible field-trip ideas. Please come ready with your visions for the coming year, and what you would like to volunteer for. Also please share your ideas on how we can incorporate your family’s special interests in gathering day activities and/or outings. Grassroots is truly a grassroots organization: the more volunteers we have the more fun and education we can provide.

We look forward to catching up with our friends from last year and making new friends this year!
