Welcome New Members

Please help me welcome the next group (#3) of families (Alonzo, Jolley, Knupp, Reith, and Shaddock) to MedinaCHF.  They have received access to our site and are excited to start checking things out.  Yay!  😊

Stacy Alonzo and her husband Brian live in Medina and have two daughters (Elizabeth {11} & Olivia {8}).  This school year will be their 3rd year homeschooling.  They started homeschooling for the first time during COVID, returned to school the next year, then decided last year to move back to homeschooling.  They are loving the chance to join our group to connect with other homeschooling families for fun and socialization! 😊

Amy Jolley and her husband Rick live in Parma and have been homeschooling for 13 years!  They have four children ranging in ages between 10 – 24 and some grandchildren also! They have two that they are still homeschooling (Angelina {13} & Tanner {11}).  This will be their first year joining any type of a homeschooling group and they are really looking forward to the opportunity! 😊

Kelly Knupp and her husband Darren are both second generation homeschoolers and have been homeschooling their four children for 6 years now.  They have two daughters (Madeline {8} & Morgan {6}) and two sons (Miles {9} & Malachi {8 months}).  They love homeschooling (utilizing mostly the Charlotte Mason approach) and have a passion for teaching their children and watching them explore the world and pursue their talents.  They love animals (they have their own goats and chickens 😊), enjoy being outdoors, and attending Bible studies with other homeschooling families.  The older children enjoy soccer as well and are very social.  Their family is super excited to be joining our group! 😊

Kristan Reith and her husband Michael recently moved from Medina to Lodi with their five children.  Now living in Lodi, they are realizing their homesteading dreams!  They have chickens, turkeys, goats, bees and enjoy gardening and preserving food.  Their boys (Sean {13}, Reagan {12}, & Lincoln {10}) are very active and are craving an opportunity to play with other boys their ages.  The girls (Audree {8} & Milena {8}) are shy at first but do make friends easily. 😊 The Reith family has been homeschooling since 2015 and they believe our group is exactly what they’ve been looking for.  ❤️

Hannah Shaddock used to be a pre-K teacher at Kid’s Country but now teaches her son Maverick {6} at home.  Her and her husband Chris live in Lodi and love animals and nature.  Maverick is very interested in bugs, frogs, and all kinds of creatures.  He is also very active with participating in soccer and wrestling.  Hannah herself was homeschooled too and she really enjoyed her own homeschool groups.  They are very excited about being a part of MedinaCHF! 😊
