Vision Day 2016!

Hello Vanguardians!

The start of our school year is fast approaching and with that comes the first day of class and Vision Day!

Vision Day is a day where we get to know each other, play fun games and find out what Vanguard is
all about.

Here are a few assignments for you to have finished before Vision Day:

1 - Read the book "Do Hard Things" by Alex & Brett Harris

2 - In the ebook "19 Apps Leadership Education for College Students" by Oliver DeMille, read App 7: Master the Cards.  It can be purchased on Amazon (The whole book is a fabulous read and would benefit all youth, but for our purposes this day you only need to read App 7).

3 - Bring your filled out goal sheet that you parents brought you home from parent meeting.  Please don't forget it!

Vision Day will be held on Thurs. Sept. 1 from 9:30am-3:30pm at the Brown's home in Spanish Fork.  This is our first day of class and those are the hours and location of every week's Vanguard day.

September 2016 Overview

Pillar: Life & the Pursuit of Happiness

Theme: Discovering the Potter:  Finding God

Time Period:

Scripture:

“But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; 
and we all are the work of thy hand.”
- Isaiah 64:8

Memorization:

"Thus we have the formula for the search for God and the tools to accomplish the quest—faith, love, and prayer. Science has done marvelous things for man, but it cannot accomplish the things he must do for himself, the greatest of which is to find the reality of God. The task is not easy; the labor is not light; but as stated by the Master, 'Great shall be their reward and eternal shall be their glory.'” (D&C 76:6)
