Welcome to Region 3

Great to have you join us here in the foothills of North Carolina.  If you are new to homeschooling I encourage you to get involved with a local support group and to become a member of NCHE.  I also invite you to join our regional yahoo group, Homeschooling in the Hills of NC (HHNC) where regional activities and events are posted.  I have also listed below some places to visit that are specific to our area to help you get started with some family fun.  Let me know if I can be of help to you in your homeschool journey by contacting me at the email address above.               ~Ivey Deitz~
