Come for the coffee. Stay for the conversation. Whether you’re an ACES parent or a homeschooling parent curious about building your local community, this is a relaxed hour to connect, share what’s working, swap ideas, and meet people who understand the journey.

No agenda, no pressure, just a seat and a warm cup. Pull up a chair! 💛

☕️🛝 TWO EVENTS. ONE GREAT DAY FOR HOMESCHOOL COMMUNITY!

We have TWO opportunities to connect at the ACES DuPage Campus this Tuesday, October 6th— one for parents in the morning and one for the kiddos in the afternoon!

And the best part? Both events are FREE and open to ALL local homeschooling families.❤️

We had such an awesome turn-out the last time we gathered for Uplift and our Cohort Playground Meet-Up at Kendall, and we can't wait to do it again in DuPage!

☕️ UPLIFT PARENT COFFEE
📅 Tuesday, October 6
⏰ 9:15–10:15 AM
📍 ACES Academy – DuPage Campus

Looking for a little support and encouragement? Want to connect with other homeschool parents? Or maybe you just need a little laughter and coffee to start your day?

Then Uplift is for you!

Come as you are, grab a cup of coffee, and spend an hour with other parents who understand the joys, challenges, questions, and adventures that come with homeschooling.

All homeschooling parents are welcome — bring a friend!

Children are welcome to attend with parents. Just BYO activities for your kiddos to enjoy while parents chat and connect.

Questions about Uplift?
📧 [email protected] or call/text the DuPage campus at 630-945-4378.

Then come back in the afternoon and LET'S MEET AT THE PLAYGROUND!
🛝☀️ UPPER & LOWER SCHOOL COHORT PLAYGROUND MEET-UP
📅 Tuesday, October 6th
⏰ 2:00–3:00 PM
📍 ACES Academy – DuPage Campus Playground

ALL homeschool students and families are welcome to join us for an afternoon of fresh air, friendship, and fun. Come meet some new friends, reconnect with familiar faces, and let the kids PLAY! And parents — this one is for you, too. While the kids have fun together, take a little time to visit, connect, and get to know other local homeschool families.

❤️ Come for the coffee. Come for the playground. Or come for BOTH!

One of the things we love most about the Education Family Foundation is creating places where homeschool families can find community, connection, encouragement, and support. We would love to welcome you.

Tuesday, October 6th — we'll see you in DuPage!

I’d love to invite our ACES Academy and ACES Education Family Foundation families and friends to become part of TEAM LILY.

Many of you know our daughter, Lily's story, but what you may not know is how deeply our experience as her parents is woven into the mission of both organizations.
Parenting Lily meant learning to navigate a world that wasn’t always designed with her unique needs in mind. It meant searching for specific resources, finding people to help, advocating for her needs, celebrating small wins—and working to make sure we had support, too. That experience helped shape the vision of the community we have at ACES--and why the mission of the Foundation is so personal to us. Creating a place where families can find resources and community came from our own experiences.

JOIN TEAM LILY:

🏃‍♀️ RUN, WALK OR ROLL WITH US!
On Sun., Oct. 18, ACES' own, Dawn Kararo, will lead TEAM LILY at Marklund's Run, Walk & Roll event. Come walk, run, roll, eat, and help us show up for a place that helped us and continues to do incredible work for children and families.

💛 Register to join TEAM LILY here:
https://p2p.onecause.com/rwr-geneva/team/team-lily-5

👕 WEAR TEAM LILY!
Our new 2026 TEAM LILY shirts are available for kids’ and adults, and the design is so Lily! The shirt was designed by Lily’s very first caregiver—aka "Miss Hannah" as Lily called her. Even when she knew perfectly well that was not her name. 😂 A donation from every shirt purchased benefits Marklund’s therapeutic day school in Geneva, where Lily attended.

And we're ONLY 8 SHIRTS AWAY from our TEAM LILY goal! Shirts ordered by 12AM TONIGHT ship tomorrow!

💛 Order your TEAM LILY 2026 shirt here:

Whether you wear a shirt, run with Dawn, make a donation, share this post, or simply help us tell Lily’s story, thank you.

Thank you for helping us continue to share Lily's story.

Thank you for helping us spread the lessons she taught us about joy, belonging, kindness, connection, and loving people exactly as they are.

And thank you for being part of a community that believes families shouldn’t have to navigate their journey alone. That's part of Lily’s legacy, too. 💛
