Welcome

welcome to our place!

MÂCHÉ has a brand new website and you will soon discover that there are many new features in it.  These features include a colorful banner with bounce buttons that highlight different elements of MÂCHÉ. There are promo boxes for special programs, a growing resource section which includes many instructional and encouraging articles and videos, an entirely new online registration system and members only format, our very own MÂCHÉ store, extra legislative information, and lots more. We have also expanded our resources for beginning homeschoolers and special needs families. Take time to peruse the pages of our new site and let us know what you think!

New Registration Process!

If you are a MÂCHÉ member, you should always log in to your account whenever you visit the website. It only takes a few seconds. Click the Login link at the top of any page and enter your user name and password. Logging in will allow you to see all of the special member content, including articles, products and events; will activate discounts on event registrations and store products; and will provide you access to the MÂCHÉ Handbook Online.

To verify that your membership has not expired, each time you log in, look in the middle of your screen, under “Expiring Roles”, to determine if your membership is still active.  If you don’t see a line of text indicating when your membership expires, then your membership is no longer active. If your membership has expired, click on the Membership tab at the top of the page and purchase a membership (pay for a membership). It may take up to 24 hours for your membership to be activated. After that time, you can register for an event or purchase audio products and receive your MÂCHÉ member discounts. Keep this process in mind when you are trying to register for an event before one of the deadlines.

With the new website comes a new online registration system. On each of the "Event" pages, you will find a green bar along the right side of the respective pages. Click the bar to start the event registration process. Be sure to read the instructions; they are not difficult to understand, they are just new.

 

homeschool thoughts

"And let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not." (Galatians 6:9 KJV)

More than one mother has decided during this time of year to give up homeschooling because things were not going the way she had planned or hoped. Daylight hours are limited, the holiday festivities are over, many families feel behind in their textbook studies, decorations need to be taken down and the house given a thorough cleaning, there is even more clutter because of all the Christmas presents, it is the flu season, children often have a hard time believing that work and study routines must once more be resumed... Many things can contribute to an overwhelming feeling of discouragement this time of year. But, this is not the time to consider quitting. If you quit the race, you will never have the opportunity to win the benefits.

This is the time to REMEMBER why you started this venture, REEVALUATE your children's needs, REESTABLISH routines, and RELY on the LORD as you go to Him in prayer, because the scriptures say, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1 KJV)                          ~Ruth Lindstrom
