Schedule

CAPE will have a table in the main floor of the capitol. Please feel free to stop by and visit or ask questions.

February 3rd, 2011

February   3rd will be the 15th consecutive year that home school families from all across New Mexico have convened in Santa Fe at the State capitol building, known as the Roundhouse, to celebrate Home Education Week in New Mexico and to meet and greet state legislators.

HOW? All you have to do is show up. We will prepare packets for delivery to your legislator. We’ll also show you all the basics at orientation. Ideally, you should make an appointment and meet your legislators well before the session begins in mid January. Then follow up at the capitol, personal contacts are key. Our legislators in Santa Fe need to see the face of home education.

WHEN? Thursday, February 3rd, 2011
We want to know if you plan to attend. If you respond BEFORE January 31, 2011, we will have name badges printed for you and your kids. Contact the Kings at cacapitol@cape-nm.org or call (505)847-2322.

WHO? All New Mexico Homeschoolers! Bring the whole family! Children of all ages are welcome. It’s a great experience for your kids. They’ll get to explore the Roundhouse while learning about New Mexico, our government, and our history. They will want to come back every year. Most importantly, they legislators absolutely love to see them in their “Sunday best”.

FIELD TRIP Opportunity

Many families and support groups from the Albuquerque/Belen area may even want to take the Rail Runner for an exciting field trip. What a great reason to “ride the rails”! For more information on the Rail Runner visit www.nmrailrunner.com
