Mom’s Night Out

Our Mom’s Night Out will be 7-9 p.m. Friday, May 29, at a residential home in Lenexa, ZIP code 66215. The exact address will be provided after registration.

Come for a fun evening to celebrate all the accomplishments of the 2025-26 school year! We’ll provide:

• A short introduction before snacks
• Board game opportunities
• One-on-one time
• Space just to sit and relax

The house has a big main floor with lots of space for talking and a fire pit in the back if the weather is suitable.

While the event is free, everyone is welcome to bring a favorite snack or dessert. We’ll have plenty of coffee (caffeinated and decaffeinated) and tea, as well as lemonade and water.

Please RSVP by end of day Friday, May 22, so we can have an approximate attendee count.

Thanks to Maggie Allyn, our Lenexa “Homeschoolers Near Me” liaison, for hosting this Mom’s Night Out for area homeschool moms!

What is “Homeschoolers Near Me”?

While homeschool families can access more resources than ever before, it can still feel lonely to be the “only” homeschool family you know in your neighborhood, or within walking distance.

In the 1990s and 2000s, MPE used to have a membership directory. It listed family addresses, phone numbers, year the family started homeschooling, and up to three curriculum choices.

Some of the feedback we heard on how these directories helped create homeschool community:

• Instant answers to curriculum and other homeschool-related questions. If a mom was thinking of a new curriculum option and saw another family using it, she could call and find out what their experience had been like.
• Location of nearby homeschoolers. Families could see at a glance others who shared the same zip code, city, and nearby residences.
• Support for homeschooling businesses and entrepreneurs. If MPE members wanted to find a local plumber, electrician, or other professional who also homeschooled, their first stop involved the membership directory’s business and professional services listings.

This “Homeschoolers Near Me” initiative is our way to revitalize and revamp the membership directory for the next generation of families.
