HAPPY ALABAMA HOME EDUCATION DAY!! By official proclamation from the Governor of Alabama we CELEBRATE our freedoms today as a community. When we announced this a few months back we had no way of knowing that our whole state would be joining us in a version of this today but WE know that homeschooling doesn’t look like this. WE know that homeschooling looks like schooling on the go, in our jammies, at the park, with our friends, and having to pick amazing opportunities to turn down to stay home to get regular work done! We can NOT wait to get back into the regular homeschooling swing of things, but until then we celebrate today! Be sure to send us pictures of you and yours on this Alabama Home Education Day!

✨By Proclamation of Kay Ivey, Governor of the great state of Alabama, April 2, 2020 will hereby be recognized as Home Education Day!
