Our positive presence at the Capitol is very important in preserving our homeschool freedoms!
The Home Educator’s Day at the Capitol is a great educational experience for the entire family. There’s no better way to teach your children Washington State civics than to visit the seat of our state government, visit your legislators, and learn first-hand how our government and citizen participation work!
Dedicated volunteers are essential to making this meaningful event happen!
Please contact CHN if you would be interested to volunteer to help as a Legislative Liaison, DAC Event Coordinator, or Apple Pie Coordinator, or if you’d be willing to make and deliver a homemade apple pie.

Why Attend the Day at the Capitol?
Apple Pie Tradition
Each year we have been able to deliver a homemade apple pie to all 147 legislators, the Governor and Lt. Governor. We are praying to be able to do so again this year. So please, bake & deliver pies whether you can attend the event or not. We want the governor, lieutenant governor, and every legislator to receive one! Combine efforts with friends in your area; some can bake pies and another can deliver!
