The season of Lent can be recognized in a variety of ways as we prepare for Easter.
If you are a family that is interested this year in walking through the 40 days of lent in a more reflective and meaningful way, I would like to suggest a few valuable resources. I've come across some websites that are "kid friendly" and help with activities, resources and devotionals.
Here are a few of my favourites:

30th Annual ChildRun on Sunday, May 31, 2015 and we are inviting other HCOS families to join us this year.
We all receive an HCOS ChildRun t-shirt, plus the opportunity to meet up for some EXERCISE!
We participated as a single family last year and it was fantastic. Half of us ran, and the other half just cheered at the finish line. Then we all ate yummy samples and enjoyed the kids activities at the end.

Thanks for the resources, Melissa, the Social Studies link is something I need to look more at--definitely lacking in that area!~ :)
