Kids12: Raising a New Generation of Patriots \[The Cottage Meetings for Kids material is organized by stories and activities individual families can participate in all month long, \] followed by an Activity Day Outline designed for a co-op style setting where multiple families can share what they’ve learned and enjoy a fun day of activities, stories and games highlighting the monthly theme. This Month’s Theme: Raising a New Generation of Patriots This theme celebrates planting seeds of patriotism and watching them bud and flourish. It highlights that we are infused with patriotism when we have a knowledge of who we are, what it means to be American, and what the dream of America is all about. During the last month of our program, we’ll have fun celebrating our love of country, freedom, what we’ve learned this year, our heritage, and the experience of becoming a liberty warrior.
