America the Beautiful
Words by Katharine Lee Bates, Melody by Samuel Ward
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Tomorrow is National See You At the Pole. What is it? Well, it is a time of prayer when Christian Students plan to meet at their school’s flag pole and pray. Why should homeschoolers care? Well, for some of us, it is the lack of Christ’s influence in the schools that has prompted us to withdraw our children and teach them at home. You can join them. I bet that at any school (Middle School or High School) in the area you will find students on their knees beginning at 7 a.m. This program must be student led, but adults are welcome. You can also start a tradition of praying for your own school in your front yard. What a witness to your neighbors. See You at the Pole!!!

In response to the protest by homeschoolers about being excluded in their earlier contest, Subway apologized and promised to include homeschoolers in their next contest. They have kept their promise by running a summer edition of their Every Sandwich Tells A Story Contest. Homeschoolers are encouraged to participate. It’s a nice summer project for the kids. The deadline is August 31, 2008, 11:59 p.m. EST, so don’t dilly dally.
