These young men and women shared their personal stories and how they would benefit from this funding.

 To no one's surprise we all had to get a slice of the delicious apple pie baked by the amazing homeschool families. This Apple Pie Day, May 4th, Representative Wright met with all 20 kids from the Wheatland Learning Pod, these young kids are middle school age. Meeting 3 days a week in half days, Wheatland Learning Pod provides alternative to traditional homeschooling and traditional public school. Smaller classrooms, provides a one-on-one approach which is often lost in our large public-school spaces, but keeps students in a classroom structured learning environment which traditional homeschooling doesn’t often provide. Students study all basic school subjects as well as performing art skills.
