We turned in our Outdoor Explorer, Mini Mission #4 tonight, making our September Mission Challenge completed. Our 2 free books from our August Challenge have already arrived in the mail and we are looking forward to earning two more free books from Scholastic
Your family can get involved in these Mini-Missions Challenges by going to Scholastic.com and clicking on the "parent" button. Once on the "Parent" page, scroll down until you find the mini-mission box. Click on the link there, and go to begin your family's mini-missions!
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.

Family Mission Statement
To help our family
decide on what to include in our family’s Mission Statement, here are some
questions to we have each person answer at the beginning of each school year to get us thinking along the right lines. We started using this with Alayna and Afton, and will continue to do so as our new homeschool journey begins with Maddy and Kenna. Our mission statement didn't change much, if at all, from year to year with the older girls, but it also makes a great keepsake showing the personality and feeling of each child as they matured.
Ask each family
member to finish each sentence. Then use all the responses to get started on
your Family Mission Statement. Remember, as families grow and change, needs and
goals change as well, so review your Family Mission Statement each year.
