Once a month the Wapsi River EE Center will be hosting a day just for homeschoolers!

Programming is most appropriate for K-8th grades, though all ages welcome. Program fee of $3/person payable at registration.

Please come prepared for the weather because much of the planned programming will take place outdoors.  [ Click Title for Full Article ]
