 | Well, it is that time again! And exactly what time I hear some of you asking? Time to start thinking about the Douglas County Homeschoolers' Geography Bee! Our local Bee is held in January, always on a Friday, just for a heads-up. The Bee is open to any 4th-8th grader homeschooled student in Douglas County. There is no cost to attend or participate in the Bee. Just come and join in with other homeschoolers in the area. It is a low-key event which takes place in the Ford Room of the library in Roseburg. |
