Homeschooling for Today and Tomorrow!
Friday, May 14, 2:30-3:30pm & Saturday, May 15, 10:30-11:30am
This workshop is an overview of the homeschool movement designed to inspire the new as well as the seasoned homeschool family. We suggest this workshop for all audiences and it is a great opportunity to introduce the Christian Homeschool Network to your group, provide necessary information on issues affecting the homeschool movement, and encourage all who attend.
Overview: CHN will share our vision as an organization. We will discuss the homeschool movement, where we have been, where we are going, and what we need to do to preserve our homeschool freedoms for our children and our children’s children.
We will discuss some of the current issues that are affecting homeschool freedoms- what you need to know, and what you can do. We maintain a presence in Olympia through volunteer lobbying and advocacy efforts, and organize an annual Homeschool Day at the Capital event. We will give you an update on past legislative sessions, and what is in store for the future.
Our desire is to create a spirit of unity among homeschoolers. In order to achieve this, homeschoolers need to be informed on the issues and not allow lack of information to hinder our being like-minded. We need to stand together to protect our God-given freedom to independently homeschool.
Speakers: Scott and DiAnna Brannan founders of the Christian Homeschool Network.
