North Suburban Home Learners
by Leigh Vozzella

North Suburban Home Learners is an all inclusive group whose primary focus is providing educational and social opportunities for our children and support for ourselves as homeschooling parents. Recently, NSHL formed a publicity committee to help inform the media and the public about the positive contributions North Shore homeschoolers are offering to the area.

The publicity committee is hard at work to shed a positive light on homeschooling. Numerous projects are in the works to accomplish this goal. In November, a homeschool information night was organized by the committee and was open to those both new and/or considering homeschooling as well as family and friends looking to educate themselves about the choice of their loved one. The event was publicized in local newspapers as well as through posters throughout several communities. The event was such a success that a second panel discussion is planned for April 5, 2004.

NSHL's publicity committee is also in the process of putting together an informational video about homeschooling that will be distributed to local public libraries. The plan is for the video to include footage of the activities going on throughout NSHL such as community service projects, field trips, wonderful weekday events, parties, classes, as well as personal interviews with homeschooling families.

The committee's main goal for this year is to put homeschooling into a positive public spotlight as much as possible with the hope of countering as much of the bad press as possible that homeschooling has received recently. The press is being invited to attend as many events going on within NSHL as they would like to attend. Photos are being taken at various functions throughout the year and are being passed along to the local newspapers.
