Math Tutor Available

(Forward from Heily Young by Sarah Travis) 

In case anyone is looking for a math tutor, I can recommend my long-time acquaintance, Robert Eakin. He is currently tutoring my 13 year old daughter in Algebra. She is very comfortable with him and always feels she understands her lessons so much better after meeting with him. He has reasonable rates and flexible hours and is a trustworthy person, as well as a follower of Jesus! 

For more info, email him or check out his website:


Homeschool Trips Around the World

taly
Join Carolina Homeschooler in March 2015 for our second trip to Italy! We had a wonderful time last time, forging strong friendships and exploring ancient ruins and historical treasures, museums and cathedrals, canals, islands, and catacombs together. This time we'll visit Rome, Florence, Venice, Burano, Pisa, Verona, and Pompeii. Some of the sites we'll see are St. Mark's Square, Doges' Palace, Michelangelo's David, the Uffizi Gallery, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, the ruins of Pompeii, the colorful island of Burano, St. Peter's Square, and more. Find out more athttp://www.carolinahomeschooler.com/atravelitaly.html

Disney World
Join us on our annual group trip to Disney World! We'll enjoy all four Disney parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom), both water parks, DisneyQuest, Disney's Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course, Disney's Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, and behind-the-scenes educational programs for our students in kindergarten through high school.

Optional add-ons include Cirque du Soleil, Kingdom Keepers Quest, SeaWorld, and Universal. To top things off, Disney's Night of Joy concerts and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party will be held during our stay (both require separate admission).

If you want to stay on Disney property, we were able to get a great (for Disney!) group discount at the Disney Dolphin Resort this year. It's become our favorite due to the great service, comfortable heavenly beds, variety of restaurants, numerous pools and hot tubs, and a great central location. It's quieter than Disney's value resorts, and less expensive than Disney's moderate and deluxe resorts.

Visit our Disney area at http://www.carolinahomeschooler.com/atravelwdw.html to begin planning your trip!

More trips and events:
Fort Caswell Coastal Camp
Space Camp
Aviation Challenge
Blue Ridge Mountains Camp

Old Schoolhouse Expo Webinar


I will be speaking about what to do when hardships happen during the homeschool years. What should our response be? How do we live through difficult seasons and still keep homeschooling? Where is our hope in the midst of the trials too big for us? I want to breathe fresh strength and courage into you and your homeschooling efforts. Come join me February 27th for The Schoolhouse Expo webinar! ~ Deborah Wuehler

Three speaking sessions – tickets only $5.00 NOW through January 31st.   www.SchoolhouseExpo.com

March 18th Lobby Day

FYI from Heily.  This is an excellent event for teens and parents – very informative and a great way to learn how to take a stand for what is right.  Please email daniellec@capitolresource.org with any questions.

Hello parents!

Capitol Resource Institute is hosting a Lobby Day on March 18th. This is a great event for parents and students alike. At this event attendees will learn how to effectively lobby their legislators for or against legislation. We know that you all have busy lives, so we want to help give you the tools to easily get involved and make your voice heard. The battle against families and religious freedom in California is real and we need everyone on board to help combat that. 

This is a great event for teens as they start thinking about how to exercise their civic duties. The first half of the event we will hear from wonderful speakers, and then we will put the tools acquired to use and head over to the Capitol for some hands-on experience in lobbying. 

This is sure to be a refreshing, educational, and inspiring event. The link below contains details:


Please email daniellec@capitolresource.org with any questions.

We hope to see you there!
