Special Event offers resources, fun for families
RICHMOND, VA (PRWEB) August 5, 2005
On August 13, 2005, the Organization of Virginia Homeschoolers (formerly the Virginia Home Education Association) will hold Virginia Homeschoolers Day at the Science Museum of Virginia, 2500 West Broad St., Richmond.
The family-friendly event, designed for both current and prospective homeschoolers, features nationally-acclaimed speakers, seminars, and entertaining activities for parents and children. SEE: http://www. vahomeschoolers. org/Event05.html (http://www. vahomeschoolers. org/Event05.html).
Homeschooling writer and veteran homeschooler Jeanne Faulconer will present sessions entitled “Swimming Out of the Mainstream,” “Balance, Boundaries, and Bravery,” and “Let Your House Do the Homeschooling.” Award-winning storyteller Jim Weiss will also captivate audiences in “Animal Tales” and “Abraham Lincoln and the Heart of America.”
Workshop topics include: “Beginning Homeschooling,” “Matching Your Child to the Right College,” “Out of the Ordinary Field Trips in Virginia,” “Exploring the Options in Homeschooling Curriculum,” and “Science for Middle and High Schooler.” A seven-member teen panel will address issues that are particular to the teen years: goal setting, resource discovery, motivation and peer pressure.
With registration options beginning at only $20.00, the conference is truly a bargain.
The Organization of Virginia Homeschoolers is a member-directed and all-volunteer organization that brings together individuals, families, homeschool organizations, and businesses to promote the interests of Virginia homeschoolers.
