It’s spring break this week for Starlight School. And that means I’m not teaching today and doing my best to avoid spring cleaning, too. So of course I thought my dear readers would enjoy a list of 5-Star Links to check out during spring break. And don’t worry; I do plan to start tackling the cleaning and de-cluttering projects in earnest on Tuesday. Really, I do!

1. Check out this Scripture Memory System for the whole family — from Simply Charolotte Mason.

2. Then download these nifty little  index dividers — a free download from ThePelsers.com — for organizing your family’s Scripture Memory System.

3. Be encouraged: Read “Don’t Give Up” — an article by Jon Bloom at Desiring God.

4. Make plans for March 27! On that day more than 550 theatres across the country will show Kirk Cameron’s movie Monumental: In Search of America’s National Treasure. Find out right here why your family should watch it and exactly where it’s playing near you!

5. Buy a t-shirt, change a life! Children’s HopeChest  — the orphan care organization through which we sponsor 7-year-old Dawit — has a brand new set of limited-edition t-shirts for sale. Proceeds from the sale of shirts will support two critical projects. All women’s t-shirt sales will support 37 children living in an orphanage in Pignon, Haiti. All men’s t-shirt sales will provide funding for eight survivors of human trafficking living at the Beginning of Life rehabilitation home in Moldova.

But wait; there’s more! For every shirt you buy, you will receive one entry into a drawing for a free mission trip. The winner receives a certificate that covers both land and airfare (max $3,000 value). The winner will be announced on Facebook, on Monday, April 2. So go buy a shirt already!

Happy spring!
