Homeschool Capitol Day

We’re partnering with Christian Home Educators Confederation of Kansas (CHECK) to have another Kansas Homeschool Capitol Day on Feb. 2!

From CHECK: “Building a positive relationship with our state legislators will help keep homeschools thriving in Kansas. Coming to the Capitol on Feb. 2 is the easiest way for most people to visit their own state legislators. Meeting up for Homeschool Capitol Day provides the encouraging presence of other homeschool families and the guaranteed success of COOKIES!

Homeschool families may choose to join us at the Capitol at 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. to help distribute cookies and a KS homeschool fact sheet to all legislators. Thank-you notes to give to your own state legislators will be provided (or you can bring your own). To further enhance your Capitol Day field trip, you can tour the Capitol and the Dome, visit the historical exhibits, and observe the legislature in session.

Now is a great time to make an appointment to meet your state representative and senator! You can find them and their contact information at the website openstates.org.

Here’s a sample appointment request: ‘My name is _________ from ____________. I am one of Representative or Senator ___________________’s constituents. I would like to meet them when I visit for Homeschool Capitol Day on Thursday, Feb. 2. Would Representative/Senator ___________ be available that morning for a brief introduction?’

CHECK will be providing a short video orientation to the Capitol in an upcoming post – check back for more updates!”
