Since beginning our homeschool journey in 1998, I’ve pondered naming our little homeschool, but to no avail.
While ordering books on-line, I was prompted to enter our school name.
Hmmm…again I couldn’t decide, so I asked the kids.
After all, it was their school. Why not let them help with the decision?
After presenting some general ideas to the kids, they unanimously disagreed with me, while unanimously agreeing with each other.
Our school, they declared, must be named after me.
Surprised, I couldn’t imagine anyone wanting their school named Laurie Academy.
They clarified that it should have something to do with my screen name: lahbluebonnet.
After tossing around lots of variations, they settled on: Bluebonnet Ridge Academy.
Isn’t that an inviting name for a school?
Imagine a one-room school house in a field of bluebonnets, under the live oaks near a rippling brook…
Actually we do have oak trees on our Texas property, as well as a steep hillside garden planted with seasonal spring bluebonnets…
Cur non? (as Lafayette would say)
Welcome to Bluebonnet Ridge Academy!
May our journeys be enjoyable and perhaps even instructional for the readers who enter our gate!
