Libby Taylor - School Up Wake County

Today we heard from Libby Taylor who is a school selection consultant with SchoolUp Wake County. She gave us the low down on all of our extensive options here in Wake County!

SchoolUp provides families in Wake County with the knowledge, the research, and the clarity they need to make the best school choice for their children. Libby spoke to us about how to find our base school, how to apply to magnet and charter schools, and how they are different.
We included her presentation in our email out to MOPS members, so contact us if you didn't get the email!

Libby is available for consulting services and other information. You can contact her on her website: https://www.schoolupwake.com/

Announcements

We have GREAT NEWS! Crossroads childcare has made some changes and our small groups no longer need to volunteer during MOPS meetings! However, the new childcare coordinator has requested some assistance during drop off time from 9:15am-9:30am before our meetings begin. This is a great opportunity for our group to bless our childcare workers who bless us so much each MOPS meeting. Please sign up to assist for 15 minutes before MOPS begins on any day that works for you. All you need to do is be an extra set of hands to calm down children who are having a hard time leaving their mom. That way the class teacher can welcome new kids and discuss pertinent details with each mom who drops off.

We will pass around the signup again at the next meeting. Everyone who signs up to help will be entered into a drawing for a prize each month! Congrats to Linda Upchurch who won this month!

Our annual MOPS Swap event will occur on February 11th during our meeting. Bring ANYTHING from your home that you no longer want and we will set it up in the great room so we can all shop and go home with some new treasures! Any leftover items will be donated to the Crossroads Missions Thrift Store, which just recently reopened after the fire that damaged the building.

Spring Semester payments are due! You can bring cash or check to the next meeting or pay online here. Just fill out your name and select Spring dues to pay. MOPS Dues must be paid by the February 25th meeting or you will be unable to utilize childcare.

NEXT TIME AT MOPS!

Our Next meeting is MOPS Swap, so to allow everyone to have plenty of time to shop we won't have a speaker. We will watch a short video from MOPS International and have lots of time for discussion and fellowship with our small groups! See you there!

Jen, Ayesha & Becky, Nicole's groups are responsible for bringing brunch. Get more information and signup for items here.
