Introducing The Magic of Immersive Learning—the surefire way to help your kids fall in love with reading!
Now, picture the kid in your life hooked on that feeling. Not just "meh" about learning, but buzzing with curiosity, devouring stories like pizza (and maybe even tidying their room in the process!).
Sound like magic? It is! The Magic of Immersive Learning, to be exact! ✨
Our revolutionary program ditches dusty lectures and plops your child right inside the story. Picture actually doing what goes on in the books, not just reading about it or even watching it.
But it's not just about helping kids enjoy learning. You, the cheerleading adult, benefit too! You can expect:
- Hands-on training - Master the tools to spark your child's love of reading (without turning into a nag)
- Unforced family bonding - When you dive into immersive experiences together, you can’t help but connect in new and meaningful ways that will make for fantastic memories for you all
- Your support squad - Get support and ideas from a community of peers just like you, all cheering each other on with how-to tips in our private online community
- Expert hand-holding - Our resident family success coach is your secret weapon, ready to help with all your "What do I do now?" quandaries. And our content creator is at your disposal to guide you and pave the way to imagination and whimsy
So are you ready to watch your child transform from "Ugh, books" to "Can we do another lesson … pleeeeeeeease.”
We're launching our pilot program on January 29th (wooooohoooo), and being that it’s brand new, we’re offering it at more than 90% off with limited spots available to maximize the experience for our guinea pigs participants.
And if you’re among the first 5 to sign up, you’ll get our Turbocharge Your Child's Education training for FREE! (That’s a $400 value, we’ll have you know!)
So, chuck the flashcards and grab your flashlights. Adventure awaits! ✨
Click here to snag your spot and unleash the learning lover within your child. Let's make books magical again, together!
Begins January 29, 2024
Gnusletter - January 2024
Happy 2024, friends! Who knows what this year has in store? I sure don't. But I'm thankful we'll all be going through it together, to support and bolster one another. Our focus for the ensuing year will be "learning and philanthropy" with an emphasis on staving the epidemic of kids turning off to books and reading.
We hope to engage, engross and inspire you with a few carefully curated events and a new presence online that includes a mini daily podcast and immersive learning programs. Below is a look at what's coming up first. Feel free to make special requests! We just got a call from Pamela's Tea Room last night asking us to resume doing Cup of Mystery events there. Some arm-twisting and bribery may have been involved.
Friday 02/09 - Mask Crafternoon Tea at McKenna's in Seal Beach
Sunday 02/25 - Brimming Baskets Partea at private residence in Irvine (complimentary for all who donate an auction or drawing item worth $75+)
Saturday 03/02 - Masked Gondola dinner cruise in Long Beach (for those who donate auction or drawing items worth 50+)
Sunday 03/10 - Phantom MusicaliTea at Spring Tea Garden's balcony overlooking the ballroom chandelier
reservations open in stages beginning 01/07
It's Giving Tuesday ... so we're giving!
This is the day annually when nonprofits ask for money. But as it's called GIVING TUESDAY, we figured we should "give" funds instead of "ask" for them.
So our little arts nonprofit, Whimsicalitea, is giving away a $100 Amazon gift card to someone in our sphere. Simply email us (genie@omniocademy.com), stating how you (or a creative loved one) would use the funds to be a blessing in the lives of others.
We'll pick a recipient on Dec 1.
Wishing you the merriest of festive seasons.
~Your Omni solemm (family)
Dollars to Ducats = Savings
{because every day should be a holiday!}
Every $1 US you spend with Omni ducats between now and the end of the year is worth $1.20 in perpetuity. Basically, you'll save 20% on everything you order from us from gifts & books to workshops & online coursesπ Plus, ducat-holders get early access to event reservations & special offers.
- $25 gets you $30 in Omni ducats
- $50 gets you $60 in Omni ducats
- $75 gets you $90 in Omni ducats
- $100 gets you $125 in Omni ducats (includes $5 extra in thanks)
- $150 gets you $190 in Omni ducats (includes $10 extra in thanks)
- $200 gets you $255 in Omni ducats (includes $15 extra in thanks)
πWe can't give you 20% off fundraisers or events hosted by our arts nonprofit Whimsicalitea, as that would defeat the philanthropy's purpose! So instead, you get 1st dibs on these events
Dipping a quill into philanthropy
Perhaps even more exciting is the addition of our Golden Quillers component. Since most of our critters are unable to write their own thank-you notes, they need help to do so.
Enter our Golden Quillers—volunteer children age 8 and older who take on the task of writing thank-you notes on behalf of the beasties.
Not only do they get to help animals (which most kids love!), they have the opportunity to get involved in philanthropic activity. And once they pen 10 letters, they are eligible to earn a gold-tipped quill pen of their own.
Visit the OmniBeasties.org site to learn more about Golden Quillers, or to make a new friend and help animals in need.
