Dear FPEA committee,
Our family and friends could NOT have been better served and accomodated at the FPEA Day at the Capitol…..from the warm welcome for our children to the sensational lineup of speakers and reenactors ( esp. Ben Franklin & the inspiring Lincoln- Douglas debates).
Our FPEA Legislative committee helps me feel certain & secure that our homeschooling interests are being articulated well at this level of state Government, and I am especially indebted to Brenda Dickinson & Sheryl Singletary for all the energy, integrity and passion brought to this gathering. Looking forward to the children serving as pages /messengers next session…
Governor & Lt. Governor really did an outstanding job encouraging our homeschoolers!! The cowboy boots are Forever etched in our memories!!!!
