====================================================================== H S L D A ' s W E E K L Y U P D A T E ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> How many acorns can a chipmunk hold in its cheeks? We don't know! But we do know that gathering little by little enables ordinary folks to prepare for hard times. That principle is behind HSLDA's payment plan: by paying a month at a time, families can receive an annual HSLDA membership. Meanwhile, they can feel secure as they homeschool and focus on other priorities -- their children. Don't go nuts trying to pay for membership all at once. Choose one of our convenient payment plans.

Next week on HSLDA's @home e-vents... It's been said that the number one reason parents don't homeschool is their lack of confidence, their fear of failure. Have you ever personally struggled with this fear in the midst of your homeschooling journey? Have you wondered how you can measure and achieve homeschool success? On Thursday, April 1, 9:00 p.m. (ET), HSLDA President Mike Smith will share encouraging insights and show you the Bible's clear and decisive direction regarding this subject in How to Judge Homeschool Success. Join us to learn how you can conquer the fear of failure and how, when you get to the end of your homeschool experience, you can measure your homeschooling success by scriptural standards!
