Hello and welcome back, NEO Homeschoolers! Can you believe we're talking about the month of August already??? I feel like summer just started... we're in the month of May still. Crazy how fast time goes! Anyway, with summer heat having fully moved into NE Ohio and back-to-school sales taking over stores, it's definitely time to take a look at what NE Ohio has to offer homeschoolers during the month of August. Ready to dive in? I know I am!! 😀
