Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Happy Memorial Day! This graphic is to remind all of us to be thankful for those who gave their lives in service for our country from the Revolutionary War until today. My family has a long history with military service. It is a blessing to have so many family members who have served our country. I know they are thankful for those who gave their lives for our freedoms. Take time today to share this with your children.
Even though it is a holiday, I have your Zone Missions for the week. If you want to double up on one day and take today off, that is fine. It’s more about your consistency from week to week with your Zone Cleaning. If you miss a day here and there, it is okay. When I travel to conferences, I don’t get all of my Zone Missions completed, but I try to do the ones that I can do.
