A Note From a Member
Dear Mrs. Hoskins:
We wish to tell you how much we appreciated the devotion of the
staff members to MTHEA over the years, and we would like to thank
all of you, as well as THEA, for your efforts on behalf of the homeschool
community. We truly have been blessed by your presence in Tennessee
during our home school experience.
Our home school journey has come to an end this Spring, and our
family will begin a new season of life. Our daughter starts college
this fall semester, and we are thinking of starting projects that
have been delayed over the years. We will miss the home school community
but you will be in our prayers as you continue to give support to
those who come after us.
Upon reflection, we realize that our journey was made easier because
we stood on the strong shoulders of the homeschool pioneers who walked
before us. We will be forever grateful for their help, courage, and
perserverance.
Even though our homeschooling has come to an end, we would like
to continue to support MTHEA through our membership. God bless you.
