Home Education Day at the State House - Monday, April 25, 2005

• Legislators’ reception in the beautiful Great Hall of the State House
• Displays highlighting homeschoolers’ lifestyles and achievements
• A diversity of homeschoolers from across Massachusetts
• State House tours

Mark your calendar and begin to plan your field trip to attend Home Education Day at the State House - Monday, April 25, 2005. An excellent field trip for individual families or support groups, Home Education Day provides learning opportunities as well as the fun and excitement of going to Boston, riding the T to the State House, spending time getting to know more about Massachusetts state government and our beautiful State House, and meeting other home educators and legislators from around the state at a reception.

In our experience, legislators are always very gracious and pleased to have the opportunity to meet with constituents. We intend to make it easy for you to arrange to meet personally with your legislators during your visit by providing you with written invitations for the reception to be sent to your elected officials. A personal note from you is always a welcome addition.

In order to encourage as many homeschoolers from around the state as possible to be a part of the day, we've outlined how you can turn this excursion into a mini-vacation to the historic Lexington-Concord area, crowned by a visit to the State House and Boston, and tailored to your family's individual tastes and needs:

• Sunday afternoon: Explore Lexington and Concord in the afternoon: Minute Man National Park, historic sites; optional programs at the National Heritage Museum and The Concord Museum
• Sunday evening: Social event-contra dance, socializing & conversation
• Sunday night: Stay at Hawthorn Suites in Arlington (special group rates, kitchenettes & easy access by mass transit to downtown Boston)
• Monday morning (10:00 AM - noon): Home Education Day at the State House, including Legislators' reception, (a chance to meet and talk with your legislators while enjoying light refreshments provided by AHEM), State House tours, observe a legislative session, office visits with elected officials, and displays (information on how to contribute something to the displays is available in the brochure below).
• Monday afternoon: After lunch on your own explore the Freedom Trail, or other attractions in Boston; sign up for optional tour of the Paul Revere House.

We need you in order for this to be a success. Please plan to join us at the State House on Monday, April 25, 2005.
