Did your family participate in See You At The Pole yesterday morning? One of our goals is get an outdoor flag pole up (would actually like to have 3: one for an American flag standing taller in the center with an Illinois flag and a Christian flag waving on each side) for next summer.
As part of our homeschooling experience, we do all our pledges and have prayer and Bible study during our Morning Meeting time. So, for us, yesterday was not much different. We thought about taking our small, hand-held flag outside, but with only 3 of us here and 1 having to hold the flag, it would not have made much of an impact.
Thinking that next year, we may make a big deal out of this special day of prayer where the students initiate it all. Providing Alan can get us a flag pole up. We may invite family and friends who do not have kids at the public schools to join us and serve'em up a breakfast, too.
Stay tuned...till next year's See You At The Pole!
We homeschool because we believe "There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings." (Hodding Carter, Jr.) In order to help our children establish roots and spread their wings, we believe in...strength in family relationships...an intimate relationship with God...being socially active...networking within the community to make our town a better place...excellence in academics and life skills...and that we are never too old to yearn for knowledge.
