Every year, the Arkansas Education Alliance hosts two conventions intended specifically for home schoolers. These annual conventions are large, professional programs designed around the needs of home school families. They provide a wide array of curricula for sale (both used and new), workshops to help parents better educate their children, and activities for the kids.
The Shelby Kennedy Foundation is preparing to launch the first-of-its-kind, world-class Bible Bee Competition. The competition will begin with Local Contests in communities nationwide on September 12, 2009. Contestants compete with others in their own age group, completing both written and oral tests comprised of Bible Memory and Bible Knowledge questions. Scores are compiled locally and sent to Bible Bee Headquarters. The top 100 finalists from each age group will advance to the National Contest in Washington, D.C. to compete on November 5-6, 2009.
