We offer freedom along with quality resources, information, activities and support to those homeschooling in Alabama. We believe that the parent has the best interests of their children at heart. We believe that the parent is the first and only teacher that a child needs. In keeping with this philosophy, we wish to be a very hands-off cover school and allow the parent to lead and guide their children in the direction and at the pace they feel is best suited to their children. We ask only for what the law requires while offering support along with quality resources to aid families in their efforts.

Sep 18, Online: Bats Alive!

Greetings Bat Friends:

Join us in two weeks for a live electronic field trip on September 18 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time live from Bracken Bat Cave, which is the summer home of the world’s largest bat colony. The emergence of these millions of bats, as they spiral out of the cave at dusk for their nightly insect hunt, is an unforgettable sight.

The program will be webcast live from:
-- 7 – 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time
-- 6 – 7:30 p.m. Central Time
-- 5 – 6:30 p.m. Mountain Time
-- 4 – 5:30 p.m. Pacific Time
-- 3 – 4:30 p.m. Alaska Time

Watching and participating in the program is easy! Just click on the webcast link that will be on the homepage: http://BatsLIVE.pwnet.org. If you can’t watch the program live, it will be archived on the web site approximately a week later (on September 25) and available as streaming video.

We’ll have a live test stream on Tuesday, September 11 from 2 to 4 p.m. Eastern Time if you’d like to test your equipment.

Also as part of BatsLIVE, a webinar about cave and karst topography will be held on October 11 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time in partnership with the National Wildlife Federation.
