"Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness."
Hello, welcome to my homeschool blog. There is a lot of information in the margins. I have looked at one or more of the products or did some time on the sites. There is alot of information and sites to set up an awesome homeschool for your children. So, grab a cup of tea and make yourself comfortable. I hope you find what you need. God bless you from the Ross Family.

Attention Iowa Homeschool Families.


Parent Taught Driver's Education

Here’s the latest word on this study bill; SF 350; a measure that passed both houses overwhelmingly in 2004 and was subsequently vetoed by Gov. Vilsack.

For more information about this SF 350 go to: http://tinyurl.com/c5zncs

This bill is in committee right now and its funnel date is this Friday, March 13th. The Transportation committee needs to vote to get this bill out of committee and onto the floor by this date or the bill is dead for this year.

If you think this bill would be helpful for homeschoolers, HAIL urges you to contact the committee members listed below THIS WEEK and let them know you’d like them to vote to send this bill to the Senate Floor for debate.

You can contact them 3 ways:

1) By phone, call the main senate switchboard at (515) 281 3371.

2) You can send an email to them at the email address listed by their name.

3) Mail a personal letter to each senator at:

State Capitol Building
East 12th & Grand
Des Moines, Iowa 50319

If you do not know your senator or representative, go to either of these places. Hail-Homeschool Alliances for Homeschool Learners. Here is another site that you can go to, NICHE

If you live in Iowa and this pertains to your family, I suggest that you act fast and let them know how you feel. I think that I am going to email each day and let them know how supported I am towards this. Have a great day.
