 PACESC Begins A New Year
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.

You are receiving this newsletter from PACESC because you are a member of PACESC’s SC accountability association, have
purchased products from PACESC, or have requested information. PACESC does not rent, sell, or share our database with
anyone. Your privacy is very important to us. You may UNSUBSCRIBE to this newsletter group at anytime .

PACESC GETS A NEW LOOK

We are working to improve the look and feel of our organization
as we grow and add services and products.
Get a good look at what you can expect from PACESC as we move
forward.
Many of our long time member families will recognize the older
logo for our South Carolina accountability group (the state logo
now in blue). We will continue to use this logo to designate
services and products which are exclusively for our SC
accountability group.
PACESC, LLC provides many services which serve homeschoolers
that are not members of the accountability group and may not
even be in SC. So we needed an updated logo. We introduced
this logo last year.
PACESC is developing handbooks and products of our own. We
felt it was important to give these a consistent look that we could
build on. I hope you like the new magazine-like look.
We are still... PACESC… At Your Service!

Discover Your Childs Learning Style - Here’s The Key To

Every Childs Learning Success
by Mariaemma Willis
Help 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 Price: $19.95
