The Triangle Homeschool Resource Center

07/19/2023

Dear homeschool friends and supporters,
We have made the very difficult decision to take a break from our in-person activities happening at 611 Benson Road.

It has been a wonderful year of bringing families, students, teachers, and community members together for educational and social events, and helping to spread the word that, yes, YOU can homeschool with confidence and joy. I believe that completely and I am deeply grateful for your family's support.

Many of you know that our in-person community center idea had been in the works since 2019. At that time, I had a up-for-anything toddler, and two independent young teens, leaving me with a lot of planning energy for community-building.

Unfortunately, a global pandemic closed the doors of our first location before we ever were able to open to your families, but I vowed to try again.

Thanks to the amazing support of the Garner business community, we found a location to do just that, and we created a beautiful, welcoming space filled with love, laughter, and learning.

Mid-way through 2023, life looks so different for all of us than it did in 2019.

I know it has only been a year on Benson Road, and it feels like we had only just begun, but at this time, it is the best business and personal decision to step back, examine, and regroup so that we can come back with the programs and solutions that will best serve the homeschool community moving forward.

Because of the overwhelming response to our Choir program, that class will be moving to a new home in the Garner area. There are still some available spaces for interested students. Please email laina@trianglehomeschoolresources.com for information.

Our Planning With Purpose Retreat will be our last in-person event at 611 Benson Road.

****If you had registered students for any fall classes, please check your emails. There should be an update about deposit refunds and other information that was sent out yesterday.
****

While our brick and mortar doors are closing, the website, workshops, and other services will continue to be available. I will be communicating by email and on social media as I have been since 2018! I encourage you to engage in those conversations as we shape what is to come next because this idea was never just me or my family - it was about the beautiful community of homeschoolers we have here in North Carolina and beyond!

Please keep in touch and reach out if there is anything I can do for your family on your homeschool journey.

Again, thank you so much for your support, and your understanding as we make this transition.

Sincerely,
Laina Yeisley

Meet Lisa Menees from SOS by Lisa, one of our featured speakers for Homeschool Mom's Retreat: Planning With Purpose 2023!

"I am a wife, mom and former elementary school teacher with a passion for organization. I started my business as a professional organizer in 2019 and have helped many frustrated and overwhelmed families declutter and organize their homes. More than just decluttering though, I work with the natural habits and routines of your family to create systems that provide the function needed while maximizing space and being easily maintained. My ultimate goal is to eliminate the stress, anxiety and overwhelm of your clutter, while making your home a place that runs smoothly and brings you peace."

You know what the WORST part of homeschooling is?
⬇️
The flexibility.

🤯🤯🤯
Wait, what?! Isn’t that the best part?

🎧Hear me out…
We are built for human connection. Our kids’ curiosity flourishes in community.
But what happens when all those homeschoolers exercise their flexibility? They flex themselves right away from the community and you and your kids end up feeling lonely. 🦋 😞

Your family needs connection no matter where your kids’ interests take them 📚

We’ve got the community for that. 💪

Yes, it’s the middle of summer, and yes, that’s our 7 year old under the hood of the truck, and yes, that’s a sweater our daughter is working on when it’s 100 degrees outside. 😆

I was in the kitchen getting ready to prep dinner and heard “This is a spark plug, and there’s another one,” I knew something good was going down in the garage. I had to run out and snap a pic. 📸

Seconds later, as I passed by my daughter’s door on my way to get earbuds (y’all listen to audiobooks while cooking dinner, right?), I heard the measuring tape crank and had to peek at what she was up to.

True, any family could do these things in their spare time. But with and and , who has the time?

Our kids still get plenty of reading and math and history… But we also take lots of time to apply it. This is a priority for us and why for you too!

Want to learn more about how?
DM and we’ll set up your free consult to answer all your burning questions!

📢 Hey, everyone! I wanted to take a moment to share something vulnerable and honest about our business. When I started this venture, it was driven by my belief in the power of community and the incredible strength that comes from parents supporting one another on the homeschooling journey. I wholeheartedly believe that together, we can create something truly remarkable.

But here's the thing: building a community takes dedication and commitment from all of us. Our community thrives when we make a conscious choice to be there for one another, ensuring our kids have familiar faces around them and that we genuinely know one another. It's about creating a space where support is readily available, and we can lean on each other when we need it the most.

That's why our membership is not just a one-way street. It's not solely our commitment to your family, although we promise to provide resources, support, education, and love. It's also your commitment to all the other members. It's about recognizing that we are better together.

☀As with any community, and with any business, there is strength in numbers. We need 10 families just like yours to really be able to start to support our kids with that family atmosphere and close circle of support that we all want to surround them. 🫶

That's why I'm reaching out to you today, extending an invitation to join us. And here's the best part: if you join before June 30th, you won't have to pay any dues until August.

We genuinely want to get to know your family, understand your unique homeschooling journey, and show you firsthand how we can support and enhance your best homeschool life. Together, we can create a vibrant, nurturing environment where our children thrive and our bonds grow stronger.

So, if you've been considering joining us, now is the perfect time. Let's embark on this incredible journey together, and let us demonstrate the power of our community.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to welcoming you into our amazing group of beautiful families. 💪🌟

Join today at https://trianglehomeschoolresources.com/memberships/

We can't wait to see you soon!
