It's always a treat to be in the Sonlight offices and be able to talk with the employees that work so hard to support Sonlighters around the world. Here you see a picture of me with Sarita Holzmann, one of the company Founders and President of Sonlight. She has such a heart for homeschoolers and works diligently to seek out great books to fill our programs with content that takes you and your family around the world and equips you to explore characters and life choices as you discuss the material with your children.
While at Sonlight, we especially enjoy venturing into the warehouse - wandering the aisles, looking at the vast inventory of books that make up all the Sonlight programs, even stopping to flip through the pages of a book we haven't seen before. I get particularly excited to see the row of library carts filled with books waiting to be packed and shipped to a family somewhere in the world. I can picture their "Box Day" experience, just like I enoyed with my boys ... a large box in the center of the living room, packing peanuts or crumpled paper strewn around, books piled on the floor or coffee table, and a boy with a new book on couch, chair or floor. Wonderful times!
So what do you have to look forward to in the new catalog? I can't give you all the details, but there are some fascinating new computer programming courses for 4th graders and older, along with some exciting changes in the high school levels. And there are always a few new books added as Sarita and her team find titles that will engage your children's minds and light a fire in their hearts.
Stay tuned ... the catalog will be out in about a month!
