book-a-thon announcement

Wendover Academy Homeschool has just shifted in to "summer mode!"

What does this mean? Principal and primary teacher Emily Cook explains, "Summer is for nature exploration, sleeping in, and a lighter schedule. Yet even in resting, we will continue to feed our minds and souls with the good, the true and the beautiful."  To this end, Wendover Academy is beginning a summer book-a-thon.

The purpose is two-fold: to encourage brain activity even in summertime, and to help fund school expenses.

The Cook family is part of a Classical Conversations community in Louisville, Kentucky.  Wendover Academy has risen to high standards thanks to the classical, Christian curriculum provided by CC. The Cook family has received invaluable support in its transition to homeschool through their local CC community.

Due to recent insurance and building changes, the church that serves as the meeting place needs to charge more per family for their usage. The family hopes to offset some of those costs with this book-a-thon. They are seeking family and friends to donate either a small amount per book, or a flat donation. All donations will directly fund homeschool facility, supply, or book expenses. Leave a pledge or a challenge in the comments below. Or if you prefer, send us a contribution by mail or contribute via PayPal here.

You can follow their adventures at this blog! Here, the kids will offer book reviews and updates. Or maybe you'd like to recommend one of your favorite books to a specific Cook kid! Just leave a comment or send Emily an email.
