Dear TN Homeschooling Families,
As the season of celebrating Christmas comes into view, we wanted to share with you an exciting partnership and opportunity to support homeschooling in Tennessee!
COSMO Technologies is a family technology company founded by homeschool graduates. These homeschool alumni are launching a nationwide initiative to give back to the homeschool community.
COSMO’s mission is to help bring families together and their best-selling kids smart watch helps keep kids safe and families connected - all without the compromises that come with traditional smartphones. In fact, 53% of kids under the age of 11 in the U.S. already have a smartphone with full internet access! COSMO’s mission is to empower parents to equip and train their kids in the digital age with the right tools at the right time.
This December, COSMO has committed to donating 8% of all website sales of the JrTrack 2 kids smartwatch in the state of Tennessee to THEA, www.tnhea.org, to support home education!
● Any purchase of the JrTrack 2 kids smartwatch through COSMO’s website will help support THEA during December.
● The JrTrack 2 sells for just $60 with flexible and affordable service plan options
We love seeing homeschool graduates giving back to the community and love COSMO’s mission to help keep families safe and connected. If you’re looking for a gift the kids will love (and parents love even more), COSMO’s kids smartwatch might be a great option - and it also supports homeschooling in our state!
