[HSList] URL's & ads (homeschooling related)
Scott & Jody Arnold & family
Hi everybody,
Here's a digest of the homeschooling-related URL's and ads the list
has received in the last 6 weeks. I haven't visited any of these sites, so
this isn't a recommendation.
Some of these are out-of-date because I haven't sent out a digest
lately. If you are interested in seeing them as they come in, periodically
check the Usenet group "eug.education.homeschooling". Everything posted to
either the mailing list or the newsgroup gets posted there automatically
(including an incredible number of not-related-to-homeschooling spams)
before they get "bounced" to me for approval for the list.

We are interested in being listed on your site as an educational
resource link. We provide educational materials for homeschoolers.
Most of our products have been previously used and we are able to offer
them at a greatly reduced price. I greatly appreciate the attempt
you've made with your website to include all homeschoolers. We've tried
to do the same with the materials that we offer for sale and feel that
the link will be helpful to those visiting your site. Thanks for your
consideration. We're located at http://www.reliable-net.net/~ccc

Hello,
My family and I are starting a new magazine for homeschoolers called
HomeSchool Dad. The first issue will be mailed in March with others to
follow. This e-mail message is to invite you to be part of our launch.
FREE SAMPLE ISSUE: Please tell your friends and the members of your
support group that they can request a free sample issue of HomeSchool
Dad Magazine at http://www.acsol.net/hsd.
CONTRIBUTORS: Our goal is to provide information on educational
adventures for dads and kids. We believe that many ordinary activities
can become educational adventures with a little effort. If you would
like to contribute a story that achieves this goal, please e-mail us at
h...@acsol.net or call 970-434-6946. We reserve the right to accept or
reject any story, so talk to us first. This is a great opportunity for
getting your name in print. A full paragraph by-line will accompany all
contributed stories. We also purchase 2-5 professional freelance
stories per issue.
HomeSchool Dad is also looking for short news items, calendar
announcements, letters to the editor on topics related to the role of
homeschool dads, and advertisers. Please send ideas to h...@acsol.net or

Dear Student/Teacher,
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/9645/
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Three months ago, our school, Harris Academy from Dundee in Scotland,
put our school newspaper on-line. This has been a big success, and I
would like to give you the address of the site, as you may find it
useful.
Being a school in Scotland, schools in different countries may find it
very interesting to read our articles, and communicate with our school.
Schools in the same country may find it as equally interesting to find
out about our school. Along with that, we provide some excellent
quality articles that I'm sure you will find fascinating.
As we add new content every month, we would love you to be a regular
visitor.
In addition, we will be setting up a Links page shortly, and would love
to include relevant educational sites in our links. Please e-mail
harris....@eudoramail.com for more information. Of course, it's a
free link, and we would love to include your site.
We would love to hear from educators all around the world, and would
appreciate if you could tell us if our site is useful to you.
I am sorry for taking up your time. Please send any queries to
harris....@eudoramail.com.

Subject: New kids video series
Hello all,
I could'nt wait to tell everyone about this new video. A christian kids video
with
kids doing the acting, it's going to be great. The video is due out on the
shelves in April 1998. It is produced by EBI productions. The title of the
first Pilot movie is called " BACK YARD BUDDIES". Do your self and your kids
a favor and check it out. I'm sure you wo'nt be dissapointed.
G Lannan
This is an amendment to my previous message.
One small mistake, The producers is Back Yard Buddies, the actual video title
is
"Little Sprockets" sorry for the mistake.
