Rewarding Homeschool Blog
The Rewarding Homeschool Blog is a mini-journal that...
- lets you know whenever new Web pages appear on Homeschool-Rewards.
- tells you when a visitor (like you!) submits a new page.
- informs you when we send out the Homeschool-Rewards Zone e-zine (in case you don't like to give your e-mail address, or if your ISP tends to over-filter, causing you to miss an issue).
To subscribe to my Homeschool Blog (no e-mail necessary), right-click on the orange RSS button (see bottom buttons to the left) and then paste the URL into your RSS reader. Or click on the My Yahoo! button or My MSN or Add To Google button if you keep a personalized home page there.
Once you start, you will be amazed at what RSS can do.
Enjoy... this is fun!

Larry and Susan Kaseman Retiring from WPA
Larry and Susan Kaseman are retiring from their Wisconsin Parents Association staff positions. Below is only part of their letter:
Susan and I have had a long and rewarding experience serving WPA, Susan as Senior Program Specialist and I as Executive Director. It’s been 32 years, and we find ourselves in our early 70’s and wanting to spend more time with our grandchildren, do more gardening, take more photographs, and do more reading and writing. We will undoubtedly become involved in other projects. We will also see many of you at the WPA conference in May.
Over the past two years, we have worked with the WPA Board to ensure a successful transfer of the WPA work we have been doing to others. We are pleased to say that this effort has been fruitful. Two very strong, capable, and committed women who are long-time and currently active homeschoolers and WPA supporters, will be doing the work that Susan and I have been doing.
Beginning January 1, 2016, Pamela Roland will be WPA’s President and Jen Lynch will be WPA’s Executive Director. Pamela and Jen have worked very well with Susan and me in making this transition.
It’s also a good feeling to be leaving when WPA is on solid ground. Over the past two years, WPA membership has grown, the conference has increased to over 800 attendees, donations are up, and more homeschoolers are sharing their time and talents with WPA. We expect these increases to continue as homeschoolers continue to support WPA as the committed Wisconsin homeschoolers that we are.
It’s a testament to the strength of homeschoolers and WPA that this transition of work has not been done in haste, is working so smoothly, and that WPA work will continue to be done with a level of moral and ethical commitment to the principles WPA has established over the years. This feels very good to Susan and me, and our thanks go to Pamela and Jen.
And thank you to all the homeschoolers who have supported WPA and Susan and me over the past 32 years. WPA is a grassroots organization and your commitments to your families, to homeschooling, and to WPA have given us strength, energy, and joy.
Sincerely,
Larry and Susan Kaseman
