Sample Welcome Letter

This is the letter that I just wrote up for my own little Vanguard group in our home, just for ideas:

Welcome, fellow Vanguardians!

The “Vanguard” is the part of an army that leads out, that bears the brunt of the battle, that takes on every challenge to their force head-on.

In Vanguard, we prepare ourselves to take our future head-on, preparing our crust and cores to be strong to serve where God would have us serve and thus attaining the highest degree of happiness that we can attain!

Each of you will follow a unique quest this year as we go through three phases of growth:
  1. Establish who we are and where we stand (the Middle Ages and Chivalry)
  2. Grow through discovery and light (the Renaissance)
  3. Apply what we have learned to move forward (the Age of Exploration)

As you can see, all the truth we learn in the world around us can be applied to change who we are! I am excited to be on this quest with each of you.

In Vanguard it is essential to create an environment of respect, of decency, of commitment. All three of these qualities will combine to make Vanguard a safe and thriving place. I look forward to creating that place with you!

With love and great anticipation,
Mom :D


p.s. As we come together for our first official week of Vanguard, please think of a name that we could use to represent our group, our goals, our vision for ourselves.
