GENERAL INTEREST
G1) National History Bee
G2) Free Marva Collins Movie
G1) National History Bee
The deadline to sign up for this year's National History Bee is January 24, 2014. The National History Bee is a multi-stage competition that starts in the home. Students take an online exam that compares them to thousands of other young history-lovers across America, and they then advance to Regional competitions in the Spring and eventually the National Finals in June where the winner receives a $5,000 prize!
Many homeschoolers participated last year, and we were so pleased to see them have a great deal of success. We at the National History Bee believe strongly that homeschool students from across America can and should have the same opportunity to benefit from this activity!
We have adjusted our pricing to include a more appropriate and affordable option for individual homeschool students. We are also introducing separate divisions for middle school and elementary aged students, with separate content specifically designed for each. Let's put their history knowledge to the test today!
To register, or for more information, go online to www.historybee.com . If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via email (info@historybee.com) or by phone (864-475-1776).
G2) Free Marva Collins Movie
The Marva Collins Story (1981 TV Movie)
Here's one of the best education movies ever made — the true story of Marva Collins, a teacher who became disillusioned with the inner city school, and instead created her own unique "home school" from scratch. While not a "homeschooling" story per se, this vividly demonstrates that the same thing that was wrong with education back in 1975 is the same thing that is wrong today.
This inspirational, full length movie stars Cicely Tyson and Morgan Freeman and can be streamed online from YouTube.

Benjamin Solomon "Ben" Carson, Sr. is an American neurosurgeon and the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He is an author, a surgeon, and the subject of the movie "Gifted Hands."
Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., had a childhood dream of becoming a physician. Growing up in a single parent home with dire poverty, poor grades, a horrible temper, and low self-esteem appeared to preclude the realization of that dream until his mother, with only a third-grade education, challenged her sons to strive for excellence. Young Ben persevered and today is a full professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and he has directed pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center for over a quarter of a century. He became the inaugural recipient of a professorship dedicated in his name in May, 2008. He is now the Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D. and Dr. Evelyn Spiro, R.N. Professor of Pediatric Neurosurgery.

Set in Austria during World War II, a free-spirited postulant named Maria leaves the monastery to become a governess. As Maria tries to befriend the seven children of widowed Captain Von Trapp, she struggles to find her place on a path she wasn't expecting to take.

5) CISV Seeks Students for Cultural Exchange
CISV (formerly known as Children's International Summer Villages) will have an information meeting for all students and parents interested in finding out more about this year's CISV Villages and programs at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 21st at the Michigan City Public Library and 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 22 at the LaPorte County Public Library. The Village selection is open to all students who are 11 or who will be age 11 at the time of their Village. The first Village this year begins June 29th. Selection for all programs is the second weekend of February. Interested students may get applications at this meeting.
CISV evolved from a firm conviction that lasting peace is possible if individuals and groups can learn to live together as friends. For CISV, the key to making this vision a reality was to start working with youth. Programs were developed which offered young people opportunities to meet their peers from other countries and to form intercultural, global friendships. Locally, programs give people the chance to learn about the cultures in their own communities and explore important themes related to peace and understanding.
CISV openings for this coming year include:
Villages
