Rona Kirby is a graduate of Bryan College with a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Education/Church Music. She is the wife of almost 20 years to her amazing husband, Rick, mom to six incredible kids, mother-in-law to a very precious daughter-in-law, and grandmother to the most beautiful granddaughter on earth. Learning is her passion, and she lives that passion out daily as she continues to classically educate four of the children at home. She loves language, speaks Portuguese fluently, and is daily inspired by teaching Latin to her children. Discendo discimus – while teaching, we learn. In teaching her own kids, Rona is certain that she is the one learning the most! Reading great books is another one of Rona’s enjoyments, and on a summer day you might find her in the hammock in her back yard reading A Tale of Two Cities, one of her absolute favorites. |

The story of twelve little girls in two straight lines, the smallest one being Madeline, has delighted children for more than seventy years. Now the beloved Caldecott Honor Book is available in a sturdy board book format and a reduced size perfect for small hands. While the text is slightly abridged, none of the charm of the original book is lost as a new format brings this classic title to a younger audience. |

Parenting on Purpose
Support Sessions
Cleft of the Rock Foundation, Inc. officially started our Parenting on Purpose Support Sessions 3 years ago. If you have completed the Parenting on Purpose video series, we invite you to participate. We are committed to supporting each family we encounter. We recognize that in these times, as parents, it’s incredibly difficult to plan ahead or fit self-improvement into our already jam-packed schedules. From commutes to our destinations, extra-curricular activities, work and/or overtime, or a million other time-consumers, it can seem impossible to keep your head above water, much less commit to getting somewhere. Even if you will leave that somewhere fulfilled, refreshed, and better equipped to parent deliberately. The good news is, we can schedule time for a Parenting On Purpose Support Session (POPS), led by Brenda Williams, a wise and amazing mother and grandmother who is committed to growing families. Reply to this email to schedule your session today.

You can volunteer by lending a hand at an upcoming event, like our yard sale, collecting donations on our behalf, or helping us pack/prepare donations.
