Home School Day at the Capitol–Wednesday, April 30.  Lots of exciting things planned for that day.  Even if you have been before, don’t stay home this year.  We have lots of new things planned.  It will be the end of the session, so there will be lots of bills for our legislators to consider and some of them could affect you as a home schooler.  Before the rush of the holiday season, put it  on your 2014 calendar now.  Plan to join us in Columbia for this very important opportunity to meet your legislator.
