That student is Margie Christ, daughter of Marcus (HENB board member) and Heather Christ of Saint John.There are 22 finalists from across Canada. The preliminary rounds take place tomorrow, Thursday and can be watched at www.canspell.ca on live-stream at 12 noon, our time. The final rounds will be broadcast on Global TV on Saturday. I am not sure of the time. Check your listings. Margie will also be travelling to Washington DC to compete there later on. (May?)

Deadlines for Submissions for the Spring Newletter
GOOD NEWS! In spite of what may still be outside your window, Spring is here. Won't we be glad to see some warmer weather arrive this year!
With that thought in mind..... the deadline for submissions to the Spring Issue of Homeward Bound is Monday, April 13th. This is for all submissions to Local Support Groups News, Home Schoolers in the News, Humor in the Home, etc. Let those in your groups know we are looking for news and fun stuff.
Thank you to those of you who have started making submissions to those areas when they happen. That is good for us so we have a feel how our space is going and for you so you don't forget them. Would love some more "Humor in the Home." As a mother of 6 I know funny things happen often. Let us laugh with you. "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine...." Proverbs 17:22 Also we are open to ideas for ideas and things that we can include. If your child does an awesome job on a short poem or paragraph send it along. Seeing it in print just might inspire them to put those words on paper more often!
Keep warm till this snow melts and then enjoy the warm weather when it arrives. AND DON'T FORGET TO MARK June 5, 6 on your calendars for the Home School Conference in Sussex. Conference Info is on the website (www.henb.org). In an effort to reduce expenses, HENB is not doing a mailing of the conference brochure this year. It can be viewed in PDF format on the website on the Conference page. There is a registration form there as well as information about the Used Curriculum Sale which will be Friday only this year.
Have a great day!
God Bless,
