When Texas Home Educators went statewide from our regional roots, we asked Governor Greg Abbott for a proclamation declaring June 9th as Leeper Day. He gave us this wonderful Proclamation declaring June 9th as Leeper Day. Governor Abbott was on the Supreme Court in 1994 and a signator to the Leeper Decision. Every year, on June 9th, we encourage homeschool groups to go over the history of Texas Homeschool to understand that our freedoms continue as long as we stay vigilent.

Celebrate on Leeper Day!
