The focus of our homeschool path has always been learning from nature. While I think Ren is a fine candidate for Jr. Ranger, as a single home schooling mom and farmer, I typically wouldn’t spend my time on something like this. However, our home farm is facing foreclosure this year and the prize money would be enough to save us from that fate. Please support us by voting every day, not just once. You can make this easy on yourself by setting a daily reminder on your phone at a convenient time, and pasting the link to your notes.
Ren has usually been running in 1st place in her group so far largely due to donation-based votes from a handful of our biggest supporters. These are not wealthy people though and I’m hoping to secure more daily free votes from a broader group to help ease the burden on them. The group finals end in 2 weeks. After that, she will (hopefully) be running against the 1st place contenders from every group with the vote count reset to 0. Broad support will be most needed at that time until the end of the contest in early June. Feel free to spread the word too. Thanks in advance to all those that help!
