Kentucky Email Lists, Support Groups, Message Boards, Forums and Newsletters (H - M)
- HAT - Homeschool Activities for Teens Facebook Page - This is a group of homeschoolers who are 12-years-old & older from the tri-state area of West Virginia, Ohio, & Kentucky (....and their parents!). We meet at least once a month & have the activity mostly between 5 & 9 pm, some events possibly taking less time, of course.
Older young people can certainly come join us!
If parents have younger kids they’d like (or have) to bring along, that would be OK – as long as the parent is in charge & the kids are well-behaved (which I know all of our kids are!).
