Homeschool Talent Show & Co-op Expo
Another dream come true! Pierce County Homeschoolers Talent Show & Co-op expo is happening — scheduled for Tuesday, June 2 at noon in Puyallup! Our first homeschool collaboration event and hopefully the beginning of a special tradition. #bettertogether
https://facebook.com/events/s/pierce-county-homeschoolers-ta/2706794899720639/
The Pod Works and Come Alive Co-op are teaming together to bring our community a county wide talent show!
Calling any homeschoolers who want to share a talent that they have or those who want to support them. This is the time to get some practice in stage presence and share what they love. Talents do not have to be conventional stage talents. We can set up tables for talents to be showcased but we encourage any student submitting to get up in front of the audience and speaker about it (even if it’s only 30 seconds).
We’d also LOVE Co-ops to come together in friendly community. There will be tables so that co-ops can set up a small display with information if they so choose. Other locations that host classes are also welcome to set up a table. (Tables and chairs provided.)
