Attention graduating homeschoolers~

INCH (Information Network for Christian Homes) is holding their annual homeschool convention on May 14-16 this year at the Lansing Center.  We would like to invite any interested graduating homeschoolers to join us Friday evening for a special graduate recognition.  Graduates wear cap and gown and are honored, along with their parents, for their accomplishment fighting the good fight and finishing the race.

We would like to have as many grads as possible attend, even those involved in another graduate ceremony.  It is a privilege to the INCH staff and support to be able recognize graduates and their families publicly as well as encourage new and struggling homeschool families.  This is also an opportunity to be a testimony to friends and family to show how strong this homeschool movement is and to support one another.

The Friday evening keynote address is free and open to the public to get as many as we possibly can to support the graduate recognition event.  Please invite any and all you think would be interested.

Those graduates able to join please email by May 1 to inchmichigan@gmail.com with "Graduate" in the subject line. Please tell us graduate's name, parents' names, email address, phone number and the city you are from.
