“Lamppost Homeschool Co-op is a group of 6 families from Ripon.  Each family is individually homeschooling their children but they come together as a co-op once a week to participate in learning together as a larger group.  This year they focused on artist/composer studies, useful handicrafts, and service/teamwork activities. The 9 children range from pre-k to first grade and they are excited to share some of their art and projects from this past school year.”
