A Word from the President – December 2021
As we approach the holiday season when we celebrate the birth of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, many are preparing children to take the ministerial examinations.
The conditions under which we are required to take these exams may seem excessive, unfair, and unjust. In spite of this, I encourage you to persevere and to urge your resource person to insist on changes from the school boards and service centers.
#OurStoriesOurVoices National Contest
Canada’s National History Society is proud to introduce #OurStoriesOurVoices, a new national youth program that gives students aged 9 to 18 the opportunity to explore a story that is important in their community’s past and to share the people, places, events, and things that illuminate our diverse past.
A little motivation, please!
If you’ve been homeschooling for some time, you may have experienced a drop in motivation and drive in your children and yourself at certain times of the year. You have probably experienced days when everything seems to go wrong: the teenagers complain, the little ones fight, everyone bickers and the noise level is intense… Days when you would like to go and live on a deserted island, to put it simply!

The November Rain
November. A month often associated with cold rain, darkness and depression.
Two years ago, with only two months of home education under my belt, November weighed especially heavily on me. With two young kids (ages 3 and 5), and a tiny social network due to our recent move, I felt burdened and overwhelmed with all the new things I was trying to learn and implement.
