Homeschool Day at the Capitol

Annual Homeschool Day at the Capitol Event

Many members of the legislature think favorably of homeschooling. As a matter of fact, for the past couple of years the state senate has passed a “Homeschool Resolution” honoring the excellent education that homeschool families are providing. Now is our chance to honor these men and women who serve us in government. They enact laws that impact our families and our future. Homeschool laws can have a more direct effect on our families than any other legislation. It is important for us to share how much we value the freedom they have helped us to preserve.

In order to stand up for our homeschooling freedoms we need to stand together, we need to be informed, and most importantly, we need to come to Olympia and let our voices be heard!

Take a break from your regular school day and join us in Olympia to honor the hardworking men and women of the legislature.

Each year for the Homeschool Day at the Capitol we plan special events to enhance your educational experience, such as special speakers, workshops, tours of the capitol, presentation of legislative information, and an awards ceremonies.

Thank you to all who have attended one or more of these events. Your support has enabled us to be very effective in the legislative process. Most importantly, your attendance and support has raised awareness of how much we value this choice in education, and your wonderful children have demonstrated how successful homeschooling can be!

A note to attendees:

Space at the State Capitol is very limited so you will need to pre-register for this event. Pre-registration starts in November. CHN will send out an announcement through their e-alert network and post information on the CHN web site.

CHN does not schedule meetings with your legislators for you. If you want to meet with your legislators, you will need to schedule a meeting through their office. Meetings generally last about fifteen minutes. Legislators are always happy to meet the whole family, so bring your well-behaved children. Tell them how much you enjoy the freedom to homeschool and how homeschooling has had a positive impact on you and your family. For contact information click here

If you are planning to bring a large group and would like assistance please e-mail us at chnow@msn.com and we will try to accommodate you. Please note that as of the first week of January we will be in the middle of the legislative session and will also be homeschooling our children, so please try to contact us with questions and concerns before then.
