1)  ACT/SAT Prep

Hello.

Please pass this along to any families you know with high school students who may be preparing to take ACT and SAT test.

I have dozens of SAT and ACT study guides that I loan out to students, and they can email me questions about any math problems they need help with.

I don't charge for this.  Just trying to help others with my particular God-given ability.

CLASSIFIEDS


DRIVER"S EDUCATION FOR MI TEENS

Anyone have a MI teen who will be 14 years and 8 months old by September?  If we can get a group of six (I have one), we can get Segment 1 of the required driver's ed done for $250 each in Edwardsburg (special discount rate).  Please contact Andrea andreamom001@gmail.com if you are interested.  Class lasts three weeks and there is an am and a pm option.  Teens will be eligible for a learner's permit at the end of the class and can drive with parental supervision.


DISCOUNT MICROSCOPES

I'm a Christian homeschool dad of 8 and I sell, service and repair microscopes.  If anyone in your group is looking for a microscope, I have them starting at $125.  They all conform to requirements of Apologia, Sonlight and any other homeschool biology curriculum.  The also come with a 5 year warranty.  The curriculum providers offer them in the $250 range so there is significant savings.  Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions, I know that buying a microscope can be intimidating and I speak to a lot of homeschool moms every year.  People can also check out my website at www.homeschoolmicroscopes.com.

References are also available.
