Let us tell you about Apples of Gold
Welcome to Apples of Gold Home School News, the ezine written from a Christian World view with the goal of providing a forum of support, activities, resources, and words to encourage homeschoolers along the way. We thought we should share a few words to help you understand just what we are about, who we are, and how you can use the ezine to meet the needs of your family.
Apples of Gold began in September 1995 by a few homeschooling families who saw a need in the northland community for a way in which homeschoolers could connect with one another and keep informed and encouraged. For almost thirteen years we've printed and mailed a bi-monthly, hard-copy version of the newsletter. Over that time, most subscribers have lived in Douglas County, Wisconsin and St. Louis County, Minnesota, but there have been a growing number of families outside the immediate region that took an interest in the subject matter of the newsletter as well. Now Apples of Gold is transitioning from a hard-copy to primarily online version mini-magazine to reach a broader audience.
Apples of Gold is Your Forum!
*We encourage frequent contributions by readers. Anyone is encouraged to send in articles, testimonies, book reviews, teaching tips, announcements, or other words of encouragement that might be a benefit to homeschooling families. There is a special page called "Young Ambassadors" just for students, and we ask that kids send in anything that they’d like to contribute and see in print such as stories, poems, or cartoons. We do reserve the right to edit and select submissions. As long as room is available, we are open to publishing want/for sale ads, or ads for services (such as a family-run cottage industry). Kids are welcome to take advantage of this as well. Read our guidelines for submissions.
We heartily hope that you enjoy the newsletter and have a wonderful homeschooling experience!
Sincerely,
Naomi Musch - editor
Stephanie Johnson - assistant editor
