JANET'S CORNER

I discovered CHSRC back in 2003, and who could have guessed that 21 years later, I would still be deeply connected to this incredible ministry.

In the early days, my children not only attended some classes at CHSRC, but were also voluntold and even hired some.

After I graduated them, CHSRC became my new focus, a place where I shared my life and formed wonderful friendships with our amazing team and the families we serve.

I vividly remember the moment I realized that the Lord had placed this ministry in my heart forever. It wasn’t just the ministry itself, but what it represented—a haven where homeschoolers could find encouragement and be well-equipped for their journey.

With the Lord's direction and grace, CHSRC has unwaveringly fulfilled this mission. I am also grateful for our volunteer board, and their leadership. We are all eager to continue serving homeschooling families this coming new year!

Wanna join our team? Not everybody can work at CHSRC, but you can tell all your friends about us. More importantly, we appreciate all the families who passionately pray for us. If you are able, we would like to encourage you to give a year-end donation. You can even sign up to become a monthly donor for any amount! My prayer is to get ten new monthly donors this year-end giving season!

I wish you a Christmas season filled with refreshing reminders of God's amazing love for each of us!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

This Giving Tuesday, your support can change lives and strengthen homeschooling families in our community. Our goal is to raise $6,500 and gain 10 new monthly donors to ensure we continue providing critical resources, encouragement, and guidance to those who need it most.  

Here’s one story of the difference you’ve already helped us make:  

Recently, a mother struggling with her child’s challenges in school—bullying and daily stress that made learning impossible—walked into our bookstore after seeing our sign, “YOU CAN HOMESCHOOL.” Unsure but hopeful, she spent an hour and a half with Janet, who walked her through options, answered questions, and offered encouragement. By the time she left, she was light-hearted and excited to begin her family’s homeschool journey.  

Your gift helps create these moments of hope and transformation.

Why Give Today? 

• Maximize Tax Benefits: Year-end donations may qualify for tax deductions.  
• Close the Gap: Help us meet our $6,500 goal and build a foundation of recurring monthly support.  

Ways to Give:  

• One-time donation  
• Set up recurring monthly gifts 
• Send a check to, 2940 W Bethany Home Rd. Phoenix AZ 85051  

Together, we can ensure more families find the support they need to succeed in their homeschooling journey.  

Thank you for being a vital part of the Covenant Home School Resource Center family!  

Grateful for YOU,

WORKSHOPS

COLLEGE DURING HIGH SCHOOL

Would your student benefit from taking dual or concurrent college classes during high school? There is an explosion of high school students taking advantage of these programs offered at colleges across the country. But what are the benefits?

1. EARN TWICE THE CREDIT FOR EACH CLASS: Your student will receive both high school and college credit when they take a dual or concurrent college course. Why not get twice as much value for the same work?
2. SAVE MONEY: Typically, high school students pay a fraction of what university students pay, for the same class. Community college fees tend to be the same for both. But you can surely save money if your student plans to attend a four-year university right out of high school.
3. GRADUATE FASTER: Of course, one of the most significant advantages of dual/concurrent enrollment courses is the prospect of graduating from college early. This leaves more time to travel, study abroad, or start working on your career.

There are amazing dual/concurrent enrollment opportunities for Arizona homeschool students. CHSRC offers homeschool consultations that can help you plan for your students high school career. Book one today!

NEED ROOM FOR NEW BOOKS?

Donate your used books to CHSRC

Donations and sales of used books are vital to the furtherance of CHSRC's mission; encouraging and equipping families for a successful homeschool journey. You may never know, in this lifetime, how your generous gifts have blessed other homeschooling families.

As a thank you for your donation, CHSRC will offer you a discount coupon for qualifying* used books, as well as, a tax receipt. We receive donations anytime during normal business hours. 

WHAT CHSRC NEEDS

The homeschool books and education items we are looking for need to be mostly current edition and in good or better than good condition (meaning no water damage, used but clean, no extreme wear, complete, etc.)

 The items we are in most need of are:

• Current edition homeschool curriculum.
• Current Edition unmarked homeschool workbooks.
• One edition old curriculum may be accepted (one edition old, meaning if the current edition is the 4th edition, the old edition would be the 3rd edition.)
• Miscellaneous DK or Usborn-style books.
• Family-friendly chapter books and classics are always well-loved here at CHSRC.
• Complete educational large-piece puzzles (Please keep in mind that the number of pieces needs to be one that our staff can easily count/verify they are complete)
• Complete educational games that are easy for us to verify they are complete.
• Children's books: Due to space issues we can only accept classic children's books such as Dr. Seuss, etc.
• Vintage educational items or books in reasonably good shape may be accepted. 
• Microscopes: In good usable condition/without need of repairs.
• Beakers, and any chemistry/biology glass items and tools, need to be like-new/clean with no stains or residues.
• Plastic chemistry and biology individual lab items, need to look like new. Non-discolored and clean.

Unfortunately, right now we do not have space for:

• Science kits
• Chemicals
• Most old edition curriculum.
• Magazines.
• Encyclopedias
• General books that are not homeschool/educational specific.
• Public school curriculum.
• Store-bought per grade level general workbooks. 

If you have biology specimens, please let us know in advance so we can contact our science teacher to find out if she can use them.

Why don't we accept donations of cassette tapes or VHS tapes?

Because we're trying to fast-forward into the future, not rewind to the past!
