What Is New??


Important New News!! 6/10/2011

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to write and let you all know of a recent development in my life.

Yesterday I accepted a position to teach middle school science, full-time, at St. Matthew Catholic Church in Hillsboro. I am very excited by this challenging opportunity.

That said, I am sad that I will be unable to continue teaching my homeschool science classes. I have been greatly blessed by my interactions with you and your children over the past 8 years. I have many fond memories of my classes and the wonderful kiddos who have learned along with me, about God's amazing creation.

I know I didn't get a chance to meet some of you, as you did not end up taking science classes from me..... but I pray you will all be blessed in your homeschooling time with your children.

Others have taken several years of classes from me and I am so grateful for your patronage and support since 2003. I am proud to call some of you wonderful ladies my friends. I am excited for my new adventure. Leaving the supportive community of homeschoolers is very bitter sweet.

Take care everyone.

In His Hands Completely!

Kim Karper

Parent Comment about Oregon Education Alternatives:

"I just wanted to thank you for doing such a great job teaching these homeschool science classes! My girls had a great time and learned a lot. You have been a huge blessing to me ~ as I really do not like science; my girls were able to get excited about what they were learning from someone who really enjoys it. Thank you so much!"

*Last fall we conducted a new class called "Science Inquiry- The Chemistry of Bubbles!" This class was so much fun! The kids learned a lot about the scientific method and we had a blast experimenting with bubbles.
