It is intended to serve as a forum for educational resources, community events and other positive and supportive news and dialog. List members who spam, flame, junk-email or exhibit intolerance will be banned immediately. This is not a place for marketers to advertise their products.

Every Friday is "curriculum swap" day and postings for needed/used curriculum should be posted on that day.

This list is not a venue for promoting a lifestyle or personal agenda. This is a restricted list and as such, the list managers reserve to right to ban anyone, at anytime, for any reason, without notice or justification.

We welcome political action alerts of specific interest to homeschoolers and ideas and information about curriculum and other resources of special interest to homeschoolers. We are organized around Christian, politically conservative or libertarian ideals. That is, "less government; less money to government, less government control over all aspects of our private lives." We welcome you and hope to develop a site that encourages and convicts your decision to remain freeschoolers and, thereby, free Americans. Oh, and we want to have FUN, too!

ALL new members must post an introduction and affirm they are independent, Christian homeschoolers. If no introduction and affirmation is made, the moderator will contact the new member with this request. If no reply is forthcoming, the moderator will contact you by posting to the general list in case you have not checked e-mail. These measures are for the safety of the member families on this list.

Monthly Support group meetings are the 4th Friday of each month at the EAFB Chapel. Although we meet at the Chapel, we are not affiliated with any particular religious organization and people of all faiths are welcome. At meetings we make announcements of local events, field trips we may organize and time to share our experiences/concerns as homeschoolers. Volunteers are appreciated for help with set up/clean up. Feel free to bring drinks/treats to share and board games or outside games (weather permitting) for the kids.

This new list is where you can get support, discuss homeschooling, trade curriculum, announce events (even garage sales) with only a few rules. No spam or flaming (advertising or arguing) will be tolerated and there are no exceptions. Should you decide to break the rules you'll be banned swiftly from the board.

This group's focus is to help other homeschoolers. While curriculum swaps are allowed remember that egroups/onelist and the moderator of this group are NOT responsible for ANY swap problems. Once you sign up you will recieve a detailed welcome message about rules and policies. Your email address will not be made public and egroups has a very strict anti spam policy.

While the groups focus is for those living in the Fairbanks area, anyone who will be moving to the area is welcome to join as well.

We have some wonderful Fairbanks resources listed under our links. Feel free to take a look. So join us today and begin posting away!

Formerly known as VHEST, we are Valley Christian Home Educators, a group of Christian families residing in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley and home educating our children to the glory and honor of our Lord God.

This email list, as well as the support group, is intended to provide a vital communication link between Christian homeschool families in the valley and encourage and support each other in our goal of homeschooling our children.
