FreelyEducate Gives Back: Get Moving & Help Your Local Children’s Hospital!

sponsors

8 Mar

Our family was recently asked to participate in this year’s Primrose Family Dance-Off.  The dance-off  not only gets the kids moving, but also benefits Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The details are below, but first, about our video: I’m a little embarrased to admit we selected YMCA as our song, but it fit perfectly with our 4 stairstep children (they are ages 15, 13, newly-11, and newly-8….it’s really hard to admit those younger two just had birthdays).  You can see our kids’ video here:

Do you want to dance and help your local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, too?  Here are the details:

Primrose family
With their second annual Family Dance-off, Primrose Schools, the leader in educational child care, is helping to fight the childhood obesity epidemic. They are partnering with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® to promote physical activity, healthy lifestyle choices and quality family time, things all parents can get behind!

Here’s how you and your family can enter the Primrose Family Dance-off competition:

1.       Record a 30-second video of your family’s best dance moves. Don’t be afraid to let loose and be silly!

2.       Visit The Family Dance-off site and upload your best take by March 19.

3.       Share your video with your friends via email, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

4.       View and vote daily (you can place five votes per day) for your favorite family dance video!

What would a competition be without prizes? Primrose Schools is providing prizes that aren’t only great for your family but for your whole community, with $65,000 in donations to local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals:

·         Grand Prize: $5,000 and Primrose will make a $30,000 donation to a local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital

·         2nd Prize: $3,000 and Primrose will make a $20,000 donation to a local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital

·         3rd Prize: $1,500 and Primrose will make a $15,000 donation to a local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital

·         All 14 Finalists will also receive a FLIP camcorder

If you upload a video (thank you for participating!), please comment below to let us know about it.  I’ll mention it on our Facebook community page so everyone can see it and vote for your family!  Don’t worry about voting for ours –we just did it as a “thank you” and as an opportunity to get our kids moving and involved in something that’s worthwhile.

“Disclosure: In exchange for letting you know about this opportunity, I was sent a package including music, a $25 American Express card for purchasing healthy food for our Primrose Dance-Off Party, and the FLIP camcorder used to create the video.  But, as always, even with a FLIP cam as a dangling carrot, I only post about things I truly recommend.  I cannot be bribed.  Oh, but I do love that thing.  Thank you, MomSelect and Primrose Schools. ~ Lori Seaborg“

    I’ll have to think on the video but wanted to say THANK YOU! Our DD received life-saving open-heart surgery at Vanderbilt Children’s, a Miracle Network Hospital.
    Thank you again for bringing attention to this wonderful fund-raiser for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.:)))

Balancing Homeschooling while Working From Home

At times, well-intentioned advice suggests that dedicating an entire day to homeschooling leaves no room for a job during regular hours. This is not necessarily so. My husband and I owned a garden center for a few years while also homeschooling. After that, I had an online business while homeschooling. We did not “only work … Read More about Balancing Homeschooling and Working From Home – a Realistic Approach

making the transition from public school to homeschool

We did what you’re doing, or thinking about doing. Our eldest two went to public school in our little town, and it was just fine, we didn’t have any problems, but I missed them. Also, it was a hassle packing up the baby and toddler to commute the school kids from two different school locations, … Read More about Going from Public School to Home School? Here’s My Advice
