Interested in Driving School for December??
From Mandy Hunt –
Thought other homeschoolers might also be interested in a driving class.
Valentine Driving School is offering a class December 7th for the Beaufort location ONLY for only $200. So it’s a pretty good special for December that class is usually $260. They do have a Walterboro class December 14th and the special for that class is $235. The special is lower for Beaufort right now, so he can get the word out that he has classes available in Beaufort.
Thanks~Mandy
BJU Offering online & dual enrollment courses
From Bob Jones University –
BJU is trying to reach out more to the homeschool community and wanted to pass along the following information to our homeschool community.
Many homeschoolers are interested in taking online courses or dual credit courses. BJU offers both of these at half-off for high school juniors and seniors (see www.bjuonline.com).
Did you know that more than 30% of Bob Jones University’s student body graduated from homeschool programs, and as a group, they earn a higher college GPA than those educated in traditional schools?
One reason for this is that BJU professors are dedicated to helping you adapt and excel in your education and career preparation. BJU prepares you academically, socially and spiritually, and focuses on educating you to reflect and serve Christ in whatever vocation He calls you to.
Please let us know if you are interested in a BJU Admission representative coming to talk to your homeschool group about BJU and the importance of a Christian education. Call 800-252-6363 for more information.
Visit bju.edu and see the exciting opportunities BJU has to offer. Even better, come visit usand see for yourself if BJU is right for you.

Here’s what TeenPact students are saying…
“One of the ways that TeenPact changed my life is it showed me that it doesn’t matter if you’re talented in public speaking or you like dressing up in a suit and tie or a skirt and heels, God wants to use you to change the world. We don’t have to be qualified because as long as we’re letting Christ work through our lives, we’re what He wants to use.” –Laura Shervheim, IA
“TeenPact has changed my life so much more than any other program like it has. It’s taught me how to be a Christian leader for my family, my peers, and my community.” – Jordan DuBaere, MI
“TeenPact has made me aware of the importance of being involved in politics, and has really convicted me to constantly evaluate my walk with God.TeenPact asks me to face difficult questions like, “Have I really dedicated my life to Christ?” “Am I striving to further the kingdom of God?”—-it implores me to flee from the complacency that plagues my generation.” –Sarah Hufstedler, TX
“TeenPact has opened my eyes to the fact that there are young people who think and believe as I do out there in the world.” –Shelby Zmudzinski, WY
“TeenPact has raised me to a totally new standard of living. It showed me how I can impact a normally all too corrupt thing, government. But the learning of Government only scratches the surface of what TeenPact has done for me, it gave me better critical thinking skills, public speaking capabilities, and showed me how to step out of my comfort zone and change the world we live in. But most importantly, it gave me a closer relationship with, Christ.” –Stevie Leifheit, ME
“TeenPact has inspired me to strive for a level of personal excellence in all areas of my life. Because of TeenPact, I have stepped outside of my comfort zone and become a better leader, citizen, and servant of Jesus Christ.” –Courtney Bledsoe, AZ
“TeenPact has truly blessed my life in many ways, through TeenPact I have learned, grown, made wonderful friends and forged great relationships, had fun, worshiped God, served, lead, stretched my comfort zone, and most importantly God has used TeenPact to truly bless my relationship with Him and give me a closer walk with Him.” – Abigail Shackleford, AR
