• My name is Lisa Ray and I'm an author and a former educator. In my retirement I decided to pursue a dream and published my first children's book, Once Upon a Time Y'all-Southern Origin Stories. These are creation stories and are written to both entertain and educate. They meet SC language arts standards and activities are included with the book that teach, enrich, and help students write their own origin stories. Because I'm a former teacher, and I understand how difficult teaching can truly be, there are additional activities and answer keys on my web page. I'm also going to have a second book published in October. It's call The Joshua Tree - A book about change and how God helps us through it.

• Project Appleseed is a nationwide family-friendly rifle marksmanship course that uniquely combines the teaching of fundamental rifle marksmanship skills with the story of our American heritage. Weekend Appleseed events present an ideal opportunity for homeschooling families. Instructors bring history to life with the ideals, emotions and sacrifices of our forebears taking center stage. A substantial number of certified Appleseed instructors are themselves home schooling parents and students motivated by the importance of acquiring these rifle marksmanship skills and conveying the significance of our national heritage. With only modest registration fees, preregistration is suggested to ensure a spot on the firing line. We invite you to bring your family, friends, a rifle and some ammunition, and head to an Appleseed near you! Please visit our main website, www.appleseedusa.org.
  
  
• We are a very small college program with a Christian worldview, one of very few colleges offering college credits online to high school students. The learning is mostly independent, online, with class work planned out each week by the course instructor. High school students must be 16, recently completed 10th grade, and have a GPA of 3.0. Because Bryan College is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, credit earned through Bryan online is likely to transfer to the college your student is considering. More information is available online: www.bryan.edu/online, and I’ll always welcome a phone call. Charlene Armstrong Dual Enrollment Bryan College Online Learning 423-775-7558 Dayton, TN 37321
