I am thrilled to serve on the Board of Directors forTennessee Homeschoolers. As a passionate advocate for homeschooling, I believe it provides unparalleled opportunities to nurture creativity and encourage thinking outside the box. As my older children reached high school, we saw the major lack of resources and groups available for teens. Together, we can create opportunities that inspire curiosity, foster connection, and empower students to thrive.

Denise Buckelew
Board Chairperson

I absolutely love homeschooling my kids! After seeing the benefits first hand, I am deeply grateful and feel blessed my family was able to take this homeschooling journey. As my children have aged up in grade(s), I started to notice some large gaps in resources for older students. So, when I was presented with the opportunity to help craft and design a new program that benefited older students as well as younger, I was all in! I’m thrilled to be a part of the community and am excited to see what the Lord has for us!

Woodbury Wonder Co-Op Board of Directors

Amber Newberry
President

My name is Amber Newberry, I’m the founder and President of Woodbury Wonder Group. I organized this group with the hope that there were others in our area searching for the same things I was – a fun learning environment where our children could grow and make meaningful connections with other homeschoolers.

Kayla Boggess
Vice-President

I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun space for our children to learn through play while building lasting friendships. I value the opportunity to collaborate with other like minded, dedicated parents to create a fun, positive community driven learning experience for our children

Casey Belcher
Secretary

I was homeschooled my entire life. My parents sacrificed so much to make sure my brothers and I got a solid education at home and through tutorials. It’s now my turn to homeschool my children and serve in whatever way I can.

Cassie McLure
Treasurer

The beauty and richness that homeschooling has brought to the life of my family has been one of the greatest and most unexpected blessings. I have a heart for serving and encouraging families in their pursuit of an education that echoes heaven through all that is good, true, and timeless. From the beginning, I knew that Woodbury Wonder Group was a piece of that goodness for us and it is an honor to be able to serve and work alongside other moms who share that same passion.
