Eta Sigma Alpha National Homeschool Honor Society

 In our January 2021 meeting, a panel of three Honor Society Alumni, Taylor Caldwell, Andrew Droubay, and Luke Giraudeau, joined us to answer questions about college application processes and give helpful advice about how to succeed in high school. The three alumni discussed how they chose their respective universities, gave recommendations for the college application process, and discussed the things they wished they'd have done differently. It was an extremely helpful discussion!

  For our December meeting, Mr. Aaron Dowdy spoke to us about his ministry with Friendship House. He described the changes that occurred in their ministry due to COVID-19 and showed us a presentation with pictures of their food drives, after-school programs, and refugee housing area. You can learn more about his ministry  here.  

 In November, Mrs. Terry Benjamin of Blue Ridge Women's Center came to speak to us about her organization. She discussed how recent legislature has affected their work and told stories about the women whose lives her work has impacted. It was eye-opening and insightful. For a November service project, we collected donations for the BRWC store, where young mothers can find items for their baby. We collected everything from chapstick and baby hats to diapers and board books. For more info about BRWC, click here.
