Suburban Home Learners

North
Suburban Home Learners is an all inclusive group whose primary
focus is providing educational and social opportunities for our
children and support for ourselves as homeschooling parents. Recently,
NSHL formed a publicity committee to help inform the media and
the public about the positive contributions North Shore homeschoolers
are offering to the area.
The
publicity committee is hard at work to shed a positive light on
homeschooling. Numerous projects are in the works to accomplish
this goal. In November, a homeschool information night was organized
by the committee and was open to those both new and/or considering
homeschooling as well as family and friends looking to educate
themselves about the choice of their loved one. The event was
publicized in local newspapers as well as through posters throughout
several communities. The event was such a success that a second
panel discussion is planned for April 5, 2004.
NSHL's
publicity committee is also in the process of putting together
an informational video about homeschooling that will be distributed
to local public libraries. The plan is for the video to include
footage of the activities going on throughout NSHL such as community
service projects, field trips, wonderful weekday events, parties,
classes, as well as personal interviews with homeschooling families.
The
committee's main goal for this year is to put homeschooling into
a positive public spotlight as much as possible with the hope
of countering as much of the bad press as possible that homeschooling
has received recently. The press is being invited to attend as
many events going on within NSHL as they would like to attend.
Photos are being taken at various functions throughout the year
and are being passed along to the local newspapers.
