Celebrating the 4th Annual Pennsylvania
Home Education Week, May 4 - 10, 2003
Sponsored by:
Pennsylvania Home Educators Association (PHEA)
Come to Harrisburg and be among the hundreds of families supporting home education! Directions and parking information will be provided. There will also be a list of places to visit in Harrisburg.
The Rally is a great way to let our legislators know that home education works! It is an opportunity to let the legislators know we still want improvements in the PA home school law.
As in previous years, the Rally will feature legislators along with home school parents and students. Our students will also entertain us with their talents and participate in reading the PA Home Education Week Proclamation.

Your help is needed! Please consider the following:
1) Attend the Rally and bring your kids. The larger our numbers, the better our impact on legislators, media and the public.
2) Ask your child if he/she would like to read a sentence of the proclamation at the Rally. More information will be sent if you are interested.
3) Contact your legislators and ask them to attend the Rally. Hand-outs will be available for you in advance and at the day of the Rally. Legislators are usually in Harrisburg from Monday to Wednesday and in their district offices on Thursday and Friday. You can learn who your legislators are by checking:

4) Help by contacting support groups and individuals to inform them of the event:
Print and distribute this banner in your support group and public places. By opening the jpg file with photo software, it will have a nicer appearance than printing directly from your browser.
