The UHEA 28th Annual Convention & Curriculum Fair will be held May 24, 2008 at the Salt Palace Convention Center. The UHEA Convention is the largest home education event in Utah. Approximately 1,500 home educators from all over the United States will gather in Salt Lake City to participate in this event.

We are pleased to announce that our adult keynote speaker will be David Albert and our teen keynote speaker will be Brent DeGraff.

Join us at the Salt Palace Convention Center on May 24, 2008 for this great event!

Graduation will be soon upon us and UHEA is sponsoring a homeschool graduation ceremony. We would like to invite you and your homeschooled seniors to participate with us. We have gowns available for use, and will provide a certificate of achievement as well as a graduate book with photos and biographies of the graduates. This ceremony makes for a wonderful evening for families and is very personalized for the graduates.

UHEA needs your help with the 2008 UHEA Convention & Curriculum Fair! Some positions require more time than others. Some can be done before convention and others the day of convention.

Currently we are looking for help with:

• Adult Convention Coordinator & Co-coordinator
• Teen Convention Coordinator & Co-coordinator
• Publicity Chair with marketing skills

If you are interested in any of these positions, or would like to help on the day of Convention, please contact Tonette Harris.

A recent court decision in California concerning one family's home education efforts has been much discussed in the media and among home educators. It appears that the issue is not a change in the law but is more likely a misapplication of the law by a single judge. The situation is still being addressed in the California courts.

Home educators in Utah have been concerned, and in some cases, confused or uncertain, regarding this issue. Naturally, many home educators want to speak out or help in some way.
