"A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started. He is going to sit where you are sitting and when you are gone, attend to those things which you think are important. You may adopt all the policies you please, but how they are carried out depends on him. He will assume control of your cities, states, and nations. He is going to move in and take over your churches, schools, universities, and corporations - the fate of your nations is in his hands - so train him well." By Abraham Lincoln

Last year during our Wednesday afternoon warehouse visits, volunteer HEAR moms started hosting occasional mini-science lessons for the younger HEAR youth, in an effort to encourage curiosity and a desire to learn more about science. The kids participated in many lessons including how to make liquid to solid goop, how to force an egg into a bottle, how to make fake snot and even how to extract DNA from a strawberry.
The HEAR group (Home Educators Association of Roxboro)
recently hosted their annual Science Fair at the Bob Timberlake Gallery at PCC.
With thirteen entries, there was a sizeable turnout. The kids
ranging from
1st to 8th
grades were poised and confident, yet there was a tangible sense of
anticipation and nerves in the air as parents, observers and science fair judges
walked around the room checking out the exhibits. Bryce Gunter was happy to
explain the basics of his experiment, but when asked about the results responded
that we would all have to wait until the demonstration to find out.
Five area homeschoolers recently competed in a 3-on-3 basketball tournament and took home first place honors from a field of ten teams, many of which were competitive adult teams.
