HHO Benefits
The mission of "Homeschoolers Hang Out" is to connect local homeschool families and provide a Christian atmosphere for good old-fashioned FELLOWSHIP. We strive to create a sense of "neighborhood" and "hospitality" online AND in-person.

HHO “Online”
The “HHO Loop,” our Yahoo! Group discussion board, is where we all meet online and communicate in an open fashion. Members read, post and reply to messages from other HHO members. These messages may be viewed online or received in a simple e-mail format. The HHO Loop is where you will also find our calendar of events, educational links, photos and more.

HHO “In-Person”
HHO provides opportunities for relaxation and “hang out” time with friends. Activities are available on the HHO Calendar each month. Most events are hosted by HHO members, while some come from other sources.
The entire family is always welcome at Homeschoolers Hang Out Social Gatherings. It’s so nice to simply sit and chit-chat with other adults while the kids play together and form new friendships. HHO provides the perfect opportunity we all need to unwind and connect with others.

HHO Mom’s Night Out:
"Honey, it's Mommy's turn..."
Now and then, moms need a couple of hours away, without the kiddos, to relax and chit-chat with other adults. (Infants welcome!)
We have monthly outings that usually fall into one of two categories:
Dinner and a topic:
We've thoroughly enjoyed dining at "Mis Arados," a wonderful Mexican restaurant in Sparta, N.C., where discussions have developed on many enjoyable topics such as "How to make the most of your NCHE homeschool conference experience" and more.
Presentation night:
The library in Independence, Va., has been a great place for presentations! Michelle, our MNO Coordinator, has been so gracious to provide our ladies with helpful information on topics such as "Feed your freezer - Bulk Cooking" and "The Family Table," and more.
