Homeschool Buyers Co-op

Hi.
I received this on our local email loop this morning. From a quick
glace at the co-op's website, it looks to be legit & I think it's
worth passing on. Have a great day!




Dear Fellow Homeschooler,

I am writing to tell you about a new resource for homeschoolers: the
Homeschool Buyers Co-op, a nonprofit California corporation. The
idea is that school districts get discounts for educational products
and
services - why not homeschoolers?

School districts get educational discounts because they make large
purchases - they have purchasing power. We homeschoolers, on the other
hand, routinely pay retail prices because we buy in small
quantities. As independent buyers, we have no purchasing power!

A large, national buyer cooperative of homeschoolers can change that
by
giving members the same purchasing power as the largest school
districts in the country. I proved that to myself this summer when I
attended a homeschooling conference and asked many of the exhibitors:
"Would
you give homeschoolers discounts if we bought in quantity?" The
universal
answer was "Certainly!" I then placed a call to the educational
division at
Dell Computer and asked them the same question. The result of that is
that, from August 20 through September 30, Dell will give Homeschool
Buyers
Co-op members up to 39% off on selected PC's and peripherals. In the
future, the Co-op will negotiate discounts from other suppliers for
products
such as curriculum, media, science kits, books, educational games and
toys.

The key to our future success is broad support within the
homeschooling
community and a large membership. That's where you could help. By
Joining and telling your homeschooling friends, you can help the Co-op
become an effective resource for the entire homeschooling community.
The
more Members we have, the greater the discounts we will be able to
negotiate
on your behalf!

Membership is free to all homeschoolers by clicking the "Join!" link
on our web site. That will take you to a simple form you provide your
contact info and preferences. We have a strict Privacy Policy. We will
not -
repeat, NOT - rent, sell, or otherwise make your personal membership
information available to other people or organizations. No one other
than
the Co-op will send you emails, and only then with your prior
permission, on
a schedule selected by you on the enrollment form.

Going forward, the Co-op will negotiate additional discounts for
Educational products from leading suppliers. We will post those
discounts on
Our site. Additionally, with your permission, we will send you email
Highlighting special offers from educational suppliers as they become
available.

You will probably have many questions about the Homeschool Buyers
Co-op.
Please take a look at our web site: http://www.homeschoolbuyersco-
op.org. The site will answer many of your questions.

The Co-op has received sponsorships and wonderful endorsements from
homeschooling leaders and groups around the country. The list of
Sponsors and endorsements will grow as the word gets out. You can
help, too.
Please join, and tell your homeschooling friends!

Sincerely,

Brett Walter
President

I posted these it the other thread, but will post them here too.

Here is one I found the other day:

http://www.learningpage.com/free_pages/home.html

You do have to join to get in, but it is free.

I was looking for a way to help Pooh with his cursive writting and came up with this one. It is very good.

Also, here is another one:

http://www.schoolsuppliesonline.com/

Click on the left hand side for the books and such. This is what is or was used in the Christian School where I was teachers helper and teacher for several years.

I think it is really good material, if you are looking for Christian school work.
