Call for Submissions
As we enter into more serious social distancing in the coming weeks/months, I have decided to start The ‘Caravan Community Good News Stream which revolves around the Vana-mission of using arts to recognize our shared humanity.
Fun Fact! In addition to dancing w the 'Caravan, the ten Broeke kids (who you may know as Moo, Juliet, Neil, Oliver) were all homeschooled with Ulster Home Educators right in New Paltz. My mom, Lexi, published an incredible in-print homeschool newsletter for over a decade. My favorite activity as a kid (aside from dancin') was getting to submit my own artwork, advice, recipes, and writing to a "Real Newsletter"! It was a genius idea, conceived by parents who chose to educate their kids at home.
Now, you may not have chosen to educate your kids at home, but here we are today. And, I don't know about you, but I could use some good news! So I'm making it. Necessity is the mother of all invention, right? You and your children are all such incredible humans. With our combined talents, creativity, wisdom, humor, stories, and knowledge, I bet we could create an endless stream of good feelings and helpful resources to share w/ our extended communities.
So, let's begin!
There is NO age limit to submissions, and no high brow criteria for a submission. If you submit it and it feels right, I'll try my best to get it posted and published here.
