Exploring Traditions—Celebrating the Grange Way of Life
A series of essays exploring the relevance of the Grange, a 150-year-old organization, in modern society. Walter Boomsma examines the basis of the Grange Ritual and the value of tradition when it is understood and applied in a way that aligns us with nature and creates community.
“What an asset this will be to Grangers, new and old alike, to understand where we’ve been, what’s important about where we are now in relation to our history, and, inspire beyond the Grange how we can move those valuable principles into our wider communities. Rituals lose relevance if we don’t scrutinize for meaning and relevance. This book of essays does just that–drawing on old, strong principled roots to grow into the future! We can’t know where we’re going if we don’t know where we’ve been.”

Mr. Boomsma’s Substitute Teacher Workbook
This workbook was developed for use in “Mr. Boomsma’s Substitute Teacher Workshop” and, as such, may appear to be missing content if viewed without participating. However, there is plenty of standalone information, including a substitute teacher’s checklist, an overview of several teaching strategies, and resources for further study.
“The kids are going to test you. But the crazy thing is they want you to win.”
Mr. Boomsma, author and educator
