Apple Pie Day
For homeschoolers, the Apple Pie Day event is about much more than apples. One of the most important goals of the day is connecting homeschoolers with their own legislators. Senators and Representatives appreciate the opportunity to see and meet actual homeschooling families from their district.
The primary purpose of the pies is so the family delivering the pie can meet and talk with their legislator. Whenever possible, pies are delivered by a constituent homeschool family in order to establish a connection with their legislator. This important contact provides context for future communication when legislation arises that could impact homeschooling.
OCEANetwork hosts Apple Pie Day at the Capitol every other year (during long legislative session years). The next Apple Pie Day is planned for March 18, 2027. On other years, we try to host a shorter event – the Oregon Homeschool Capitol Day. We hope you join us for these important events!

What is Apple Pie Day?
Apple Pie Day happens during long legislative years (every other year) and is a time when homeschoolers in Oregon come together to visit legislators and the governor, delivering home-baked apple pies and packets of information promoting home education. Apple Pie Day is a wonderful way for families to participate in efforts to protect and expand homeschool freedoms in Oregon!
Each legislative session new Representatives and Senators fill the halls of the Capitol. These are the men and women who enact laws impacting our families. It is important that they get a chance to meet homeschool families from their district and learn how much you value your freedom to homeschool.
Apple Pie Day makes visiting your legislators easy. You bring an apple pie and we provide the information on homeschooling. Then you take your whole family to meet your legislators. They will be delighted to meet your well behaved children and you can tell them how much you appreciate the freedom we have to home educate in Oregon!
