NATA Information Booth at the Nebraska Christian Home Educators Association Conference last weekend. Special thanks to Jennifer Bockerman, NATA Independent Schools Liaison, and Lincoln Christian and Lincoln Lutheran School Students for representing NATA at this event. NATA AD-HOC COMMITTEE - Are You Interested in Serving? We are forming an ad-hoc committee following discussion at the spring board meeting and attendance at the Nebraska Christian Home Educators Association conference. Home School groups have expressed tons of interest in our support and we have learned there is a huge home school student body not being served by our association. This committee will look at this issue and bring a recommendation to the board, by the summer board meeting. If you have an interest in serving on this committee, please contact Jennifer Bockerman. The committee plans to spend 1/2 day in person and/or via device by June to decide upon a recommendation. Jennifer and Lynette Fast will organize a day/time for meeting when they have received enough interested members.

Today the Governor signed LB957 into law. This bill included language from LB715, which continues the state's intent of providing matching public funds for the Nebraska Cultural Endowment. Thanks to advocacy and support of Arts Advocates from around the state, there is a continuation of this public-private partnership model for supporting the arts and humanities in Nebraska. The just-signed bill extends the state's intent for the public funding portion of the Endowment, the Cultural Preservation Endowment Fund, with a $500,000 contribution per year for the next ten years. These funds must be matched dollar-for-dollar by private contributions. The earnings from both the state and private sides are then distributed to the Nebraska Arts Council and Humanities Nebraska to fund grants and programs all across the state.

Veritas Classical School Part Time Art Teacher Position:
We are looking for a part time art teacher for our upcoming launch of a Christian Classical school that complements homeschool parents in the Fall of 2016. Veritas Classical School would meet once a week for electives and right now our grades are Kindergarten through 7th/8th grade combo class. In His providence God brings individuals into our lives who make an indelible imprint on us, and we are most grateful when that occurs. We are pleased to announce Veritas classical schools is looking to hire teachers such as this for the 2016-2017 school year. Our prayer is for a dynamic educator to come alongside parents to raise their children to be all that God desires. The teacher will be responsible as a godly role model to instruct them in all areas according to our classical methodology and through the clear lens of a biblical worldview. Our teachers will enjoy children while inspiring them to high standards and the pursuit of genuine Christian faith. If this sounds like you or anyone you might know contact us at vcsomaha@gmail.com. We trust that God will bring this type of individual to our campus. Thanks, Kristi Downing, Veritas Director
