"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

Our HEAR Leaders
Welcome to the Home Educators Association of Roxboro website! HEAR is a home school support group serving Person and Caswell counties in North Carolina. We are a Christian organization and are governed by Christian Principles.We are here to encourage you in your venture of home schooling your children, and we offer support and encouragement with bi-monthly meetings, newsletters, fellowship, activities, and special events.
Wednesday afternoon, May 26 was the last HEAR gathering at the warehouse for the school year. HEAR has been incredibly blessed by Tim, Mark, Brett, Amy and the rest of the YfC staff, and we can never say thank you enough! The past two years, they have provided us with a safe environment to meet on a weekly basis. They could have stopped there, but being the Christian men and women they are and driven to share, so went way beyond simply allowing us use of their facility. Each week they offered Campus Life for the older youth, followed by a younger version for the k-5th grade kids. Laughter, fun, smiles and lots of loud Tim were in order each week, all with the wonderful blessing of learning about God's love for us.
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.
