Dear Homeschool Friends:

Once again, I'm honored to announce the second "Janice M. Hedin Scholarship". I'm so pleased about the two scholarship winners of 2008 and now there's another opportunity for more homeschool graduates to apply. So if you have a homeschool high school graduate or know of one, would you let them know about this opportunity provided by the Washington Homeschool Organization? There's more information about it on their website, www.WashHomeschool.org.
