LAKESHORE LIFELONG LEARNERS
We are open to all families interested in homeschooling. We recognize the importance of learning as a family unit and invite parents, siblings, grandparents, and anyone else who shares in your child's education to come to our
activities. We believe that there is strength in the diversity of homeschoolers and that we can all benefit from each
others experiences. We believe Lakeshore Lifelong Learners will remain strong and active due to the efforts of individuals.
We encourage each family to schedule activities that are of interest to them. A monthly newsletter The Learning Letter provides information about activities and events scheduled by subscribers, as well as, area activities and resources for homeschoolers. Generally the focus is Berrien County Michigan with the center of functions occurring around the
Stevensville/St. Joseph/Benton Harbor area, although just as many activities do occur outside of that central area. For subscription information or questions, contact - Mary Ann Annis - lakeshorelifelonglearners@hotmail.com
