AFHE Thank You Picnic - Black Canyon City

Homeschooling families from Black Canyon City, New River, Anthem, Desert
Hills, Tramanto, Cordes Junction, Mayer, Cave Creek, North Phoenix and
surrounding areas are invited to join us for a "Thank You Picnic" hosted by
AFHE.

In celebration of AFHE's 25th anniversary, members of the AFHE board are enjoying traveling to different counties to visit with homeschooling families around Arizona over a 12-18 month period.   We are here to serve and encourage you as you teach your children at home. One of the primary ways we serve Arizona homeschoolers is to watch legislation that might affect our rights to teach our children at home.  AFHE supports and promotes parent-led, family-funded, relationship-based education of children by their parents at home.

Homeschooling moms, dads, and kids are invited to join us for lunch (sub sandwiches, chips, fresh veggies, dessert, water, and pop), fellowship with other homeschoolers, and door prize drawings too!

This is an informal family event ... a great opportunity to visit with other homeschooling families. Families who wish to stay afterwards to let the
kids play together may do so.
