    The 2010-2011 membership period has begun.

    Thank you for PACESC as your accountability

    group. It is an honor to serve your family.

    If you have not already re enrolled, you are

    receiving your last newsletter from PACESC.

    We understand that many of you may be intent

    on joining us for another year and we would not

    want you to miss this issue.

    If you are sitting on the fence trying to decide if

    you will re enroll, we hope the information in

    this issue will help you decide.

    P A C E S C G E T S A N E W L O O K

    We are working to improve the look and feel of our organizationas we grow and add services and products.

    Get a good look at what you can expect from PACESC as we moveforward.

    Many of our long time member families will recognize the olderlogo for our South Carolina accountability group (the state logonow in blue). We will continue to use this logo to designateservices and products which are exclusively for our SCaccountability group.

    PACESC, LLC provides many services which serve homeschoolersthat are not members of the accountability group and may noteven be in SC. So we needed an updated logo. We introducedthis logo last year.

    PACESC is developing handbooks and products of our own. Wefelt it was important to give these a consistent look that we couldbuild on. I hope you like the new magazine-like look.

    We are s till... PACESC At Your Service!

    Discover Your Childs Learning Style - Heres The Key ToEvery Childs Learning Success by Mariaemma WillisHelp your child discover the joy of learning. Does your child learn best in the

    morning, afternoon, or evening? Does his reading comprehension increase or

    decrease when music is played in the background? Does she prefer to study

    alone or with others? According to nationally respected educators Mariaemma

    Willis And Victoria Kindle Hodson, our children process information in a

    multitude of unique ways. What works best for one child is often

    counterproductive for others. By trying to force all children into the same

    learning mode we unfairly short-circuit their education as well as their

    intellectual development. Discover Your Child's Learning Style shows how to

    assess and nurture your child's individual learning potential based on his or her

    talents, interests, disposition, preferred environment, and more.

    From Kindergarten to College by Deb Edson

    Packed with over 130 pages of tips, aids, resources, examples, and

    personal stories about how they homeschooled their 3 children for 18

    years and were able to send them to college by the grace of God with

    over 30 scholarships.
