Ella’s first SEHS Expo was back as a starry-eyed first-time homeschooler in 2004. Ella lives in Atlanta with her husband of 28 years and her youngest two teenagers. In the last 20 years, she has homeschooled all five of her children. Three daughters who have graduated from University of Georgia with the Zell Miller scholarship, a son who is finishing up his associates degree at Chattahoochee Tech, and her youngest son who is a high school, Junior. With a heart for homeschooling families, Ella has a yearning to help parents still in the trenches find ways to focus on what matters most. In a world where SAT scores and sports statistics take precedence over family values, homeschooling families have a unique opportunity to prioritize character development in their children. Come hear how having an organized system for covering character traits with your children can grow family unity and prepare kids for the challenges they face.
