Tracy Pons (Rep for FPEA.com) Bio Encouraged by my church family’s veteran homeschool mom community, my husband, Carlos and I jumped into homeschooling our son with gusto! We found great encouragement and resources through the Florida Parent Educator’s Association(FPEA), especially their FPEA “Live Free” events, like the Homeschool Convention each Memorial Day weekend in May. We are so grateful the Lord opened doors for us to become FPEA volunteers! I want to continue to help and encourage others in this “freedom mindset”, which the Good Lord inspired in me, whether through home discipleship/education training,  homesteading, etc, and most importantly sharing the ultimate Freedom in Him!
