There are not enough ways to say thank Central New Mexico (CNM) for their gracious offer and hosting of our home school fair. The Workforce Training Center is a beautiful campus and was a fitting location for the families who came to discover the resources and opportunities for learning in our community!
After speaking with several vendors and volunteers my best estimate is that there were anywhere from 700-1000 people total, with half to 3/4 of that being kids of all ages!
I am so proud to have been a part of this relationship between a college and a homeschooling community. We are all in the 'business' of giving our children and families choices in their education. Together we are providing a forum in which our community is able to showcase those resources for life long learning.
A special thanks goes out to Phillip Bustos of Student Services who intiated the offer to utilize the resources of CNM. Also Evelyn Dow-Simpson and the entire staff at the Workforce Training Center campus, we could not have done it without their help leading up to and the day of the fair!
So with my notebook of ideas for next year in hand and a couple of hundred emails in my inbox requesting information and tables for next year lets give a virtual round of applause to CNM!
Gratefully yours and loving the community in which we live and learn,
