Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I am very interested in this trailguide for the 8th and 9th grade. I was wondering if there was a booklist of books used posted someplace. Are most of them available at your local library? I tend to want to buy all the books for our book shelves! Am I correct in understanding that the only thing needed beside the trailguide would be a math program?
Thanks!
JMJ,

Thank you so much Elizabeth!
This year we are doing Further Up Further In, the Narnia Unit Study.
Zach is in the 8th grade. I think I will use your Transitions for him in the 9th.
Do you have it set up where it is up to me to come up with the program using your works listed, or is it already broken down for me day by day??
As soon as I have a little extra spending money I think I will be placing an order!!
JMJ,

Elizabeth,
How do you use Envoy for current events? Do you subscribe to the magazine or read it online?
