Welcome to our Web site!

• HERITAGE is a group of homeschoolers meeting once a month to encourage one another toward love, good teaching, and an abundant life in Christ.  The term HERITAGE stands for Home Educators Restoring In Truth A Godly Education.  It also reminds us of what we wish to pass on to our children..
  
  

• We meet on the first Tuesday of the month through the school year at 7:30pm at the Redland  Baptist Church on Muncaster Mill Rd. in Derwood, MD.   From 7-ish to 7:30 we chat, snack, look at other's used curriculum (for sale, or free), and put up and copy down notes of new activities on the white board.   There is some 'business' time, some prayer, a time for members to share 'What Works'  in a specific area, like math or reading, and there are speakers, generally from outside the group, but not always as we are a pretty talented bunch.  We finish up and shoo ourselves out by 9pm.  For those able to stay later, all are welcome to go over to the Out'a the Way Cafe for more talking and great strawberry shortcake (yes, there are other wonders on the menu too).  
  
  
• We ask for a 15$ yearly membership fee that helps with various costs and also gives one membership in MACHE, which in turn gives a discount with HSLDA. These cards, too, are handy proof of homeschooling to use at places that give teacher discounts.
  
  
• We have a monthly newsletter to share.  
  
  
• We strongly encourage  Every Member to Participate and we all appreciate it!!!  The EMPs have jobs like "What Works" coordinator, field trip coordinator K-3, librarian....  There is something for everyone.
  

• You are most welcome to visit us, whether just considering homeschooling or already a homeschooler.  Parking is in the back of the church. For their directions click here.  We meet up the stairs you will see through the door to the right of the main back doors. Go up the stairs, turn left to the first room on the left.  For more information please contact me, the HERITAGE  WebMistress.
