As a homeschool mom, I remember the change of pace that each new season ushered in. As a business owner, I understand the change of pace the summer season ushers in for everyone: parents, children, AND teachers. We all need a change from our school routines. We need a break. We need a rest. We need more sleep!! But summer days are longer days, which don’t lend to more sleep. It’s no accident that summer days are the longest. Instead of simply sleeping more, we can look forward to all kinds of summer fun: wearing shorts, playing outside, cooling off in the water, enjoying parties and playdates, planning family trips . . . and preparing for the next school year! For some, preparing feels fun. For others, it feels burdensome. But just a little bit of intentional planning always reaps great rewards.
At TWJ, we work to build community so we can come alongside each other whatever the need. So here are some ways we plan to come alongside you this summer:
Continue providing encouragement through our monthly newsletter.
Begin a facebook group so you can connect with each other too! (So much more
to come about this. Stay tuned!)
Offer a few educational opportunities through virtual classes this summer for students and parents.
We will do our best to offer some classes for students and/or parents throughout the summer, but we need to hear from you to know what your interests are. Send us an email to share your ideas with us. On the other hand, if you just need a break, we understand that too. The needs vary, so the solutions must vary. We are here to offer solutions, so stay connected and be encouraged.
