Update to Aces mission statement

In order to reflect the current and future realities of the Swain Aces group, I've updated the mission statement on the website in order to be inclusive of students other than just homeschoolers. As our children continue to grow, our ACEs families will continue to take advantage of the increase in educational options (Charter and private schools, joint enrollments, etc...) in the area. My hope is that Aces will likewise evolve over time, continuing to provide meaningful and worthwhile enrichment to the children of Swain County and surrounding areas.

The new wording is below. Please let me know your thoughts or any suggestions for changes and improvements

Swain County ACEs (Another Choice for Education) is a group consisting of home, private, charter and public school children aged 4th grade and up (with younger sibs welcome). ACEs aims to provide educational enrichment and socialization in fun and interesting ways. We believe that differences (race, religion, upbringing, style of education, political belief, etc...) should be honored and respected.
