May. 2, 2008 - Opportunity for Home School Student!

I am passing this letter on that I received in hopes someone out there has homeschoolers who are interested in this:

Dear Cindy,

My parents homeschooled me because they thought it would present me with more opportunities than traditional schooling. Today I am working with Oklahoma Christian University to help other students around the country to find opportunities for development.

This August, 48 students will be gathering here in Oklahoma City to participate in a week long leadership debate that will be televised nationally on Fox News! Applications are open for the next two weeks (until May 16, 2008) and I want to make sure that students from the homeschool community are well represented. We are interested in having the best students and I know that if we don’t have some homeschooled students we won’t attain that goal.

Students selected for the program will be:

1.       Great communicators
2.       Critical thinkers
3.       Aspiring leaders

If Oklahoma Homeschool has a student like this who wants an opportunity to meet other students from around the nation, who wants to hone their communication skills, who wants to be a better leader, and who wants to learn from some of the best minds in debate, public policy, and leadership in the nation, then please recommend them for the program. We have been working hard to find scholarships for every position so the students selected for the program will only have to pay $75 each, which includes all costs for the program including airfares to Oklahoma City.

If you would like more information I can email you an application packet. Alternatively, you can visit our website and download the information there. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions--my information is below. I look forward to seeing your students at iDebate!

Sincerely,
Marshall B. Sayre
