Sushi thanks for being a great companion to our kids, staff especially Eva and her grandkids.  Sushi has actually been at the learning Store longer than Allan, Chris, Jennifer,Linda and Annelise. He was a long term employee who taught us all how to handle conflict. Pull your sweater over your head, spread out your arms, jerk forward and try to scare the crap out of the other person! Works every time! He was such a great learning store employee. I'm hoping we have frozen him in the freezer, so we can plant him in the garden in the Spring. Now if you have already eaten him, I'm fine with that too!  Lots of info.  March 25 th Chad and Linda are going to the CRM software training. I am hoping to go as well. If you are wanting this training please let me know we can all go.  Senior high math Pd March 25th at HLPS. Let me know if you want to go.

Why Do Kids Choose Learning Stores My siblings came here. So I could work independently. Staff are so nice and positive. I chose Learning Stores because it's more private and they make you feel welcome. I chose the Learning Store because I do not like home schooling and family family did not want me in the public school.  To get school done early and go at my own pace. Cause I needed an education. Cause my brother did. Life gets busy sometimes and I can take my time to do my homework, and i get more help here.  I get more help here and teachers and nicer and more helpful. Because of complications at the High School.  I heard it's peaceful and not as loud as the Public school.  I can get stuff done on my own time. I chose to do my schooling here at the Learning Store because I am always travelling so I miss a lot of school. Because It's not loud and I like working by myself and i just like it. Less drama/more one on one help/less stress/enjoy module work/I
