Teach recommends you visit Moore Expressions Homeschool Bookstore mooreexpressions.com, heav.org, and hslda.org for your education and protection.
Dear Homeschooling Parents:
It has been the desire of T.E.A.C.H. to encourage and support your effort to educate
your children and prepare them to become the critical thinkers and leaders of tomorrow.
No time in our history as a Country is this more vital to our Nation’s health and future.
Now, more than ever, we need to teach our children what it means to live in a Republic that
acknowledges our Creator God, embraces the freedoms set forth in the Constitution by our
Founding Fathers, remembers the men and women who serve in our military, and the veterans
that have protected us.
No textbook has done justice to this vital part of homeschool curricula. it is a matter of
bringing patriotism alive in the home – quickening their hearts and minds to the importance of
preserving and passing on our great heritage. This freedom stays vulnerable to attack and needs
constant vigilance because we represent independent thinking.
How could we dare to provide our children all the academics, sports, fine arts, and all the other
extracurricular activities – busying ourselves to the max – but neglect to teach them about their
heritage and how to protect it.
This is an admonishment to everyone to make it a part of your everyday life – to have that
time together when you discuss these things as if your very lives depended upon it.
Respectfully,
Gary Hardison, President
T.E.A.C.H. Board of Directors

23rd Annual Education Expo
has been cancelled until further notice.After polling the vendors, and the attendees that I have email addresses for from Expos 2004-2007, a wealth of information came back. TEACH is very grateful for everyone who responded, as they verified our suspicions and gave us much, much more in the way of reasons and suggestions.

VISION FOR TEACH/BEACH COMPLEX
Our first three goals is to (1) announce the projected cost of our building, (2) find approx. 20 acres of land in the Tidewater area, and (3) send out a nationwide announcement letter of our history and goals.
The above Chart of Goals and the drawings of the Complex below are what we have accomplished so far to show you what our vision is for a future home for Homeschool Sports practices and games, Graduation, Prom, Curriculum Fair, and more. At the present time we have raised approximately $36,000, which is represented in green at the top of the ruler. The goals we have thought of initially are listed and the pink will move to the right as each goal is reached. We will rearrange the goals as they are accomplished, getting the word out to the Tidewater communities and beyond for help in whatever our Homeschool families and their friends can offer in the way of good counsel, expertise, innovative ways to fundraise and acquire business and corporate sponsorships and donations of time, materials and money. We know that it is an ambitious project in the way we plan to present it to you. We really don't feel that it is anyone but the Lord who will build this House and sustain it through the generations to come; but we want to be among the human vessels through which He works His miracles. So, if the above quickens your sense of adventure, join us with your prayers and support. You can email Gary Hardison at teachassoc@cox.net or you can call Brenda Hardison at 714-5163.

"Somewhere between the ages of eleven and fifteen, the average child begins to suffer from an atrophy, the paralysis of curiosity and the suspension of the power to observe. The trouble, I should judge, to lie with the schools." Thomas Alva Edison (former home school student)Homeschool Robotics Team Wins World Championship
A team of seven homeschooled high schoolers swept the FIRST Tech Challenge World Championship in Atlanta, Georgia, taking home a Winning Alliance Team trophy and the Amaze Award (awarded by the judges to a team whose uniqueness sets it apart from all other award categories).
