St Nicholas League
The original St Nicholas Magazine had a St. Nicholas League for kids that gave them the encouragement and opportunity to be part of the magazine by submitting their own work and letters. The motto was “Live to Learn and Learn to Live,” and many children were devoted members for years. I love the sense of belonging that I’m sure that it provided for these children, and aim to provide the same to today’s children!
We are so excited to announce, the new St Nicholas League on Substack! When your family joins, you and your children will receive a personalized membership cards and many benefits!

Stories & Art
By joining the St. Nicholas League for just five dollars a month, you will have access to a weekly printable story, poem, drawing, letters, article, etc, complete with their illustrations, from the original St Nicholas straight to your inbox. These biographies, nature stories, and serials are all a hundred years old or more, with the beautiful language and high quality story-telling of that time, and many of them, since their publication in St Nicholas, have never been available to the general public.

Pen-Pals
Members of the St Nicholas League receive the opportunity to get a pen-pal! We will provide a form where any member can list their name, age, and interests, and we will match them with someone else, so that they can write letters! This is so in line with the mission of our new St Nicholas, and with the mission of all homeschooling families: to build a community based on shared values and traditions, and to increase communications that aren’t all online!

Members of the St Nicholas League will get to submit ideas and vote in what upcoming assignments will appear in our quarterly St. Nicholas Magazine. These assignments change in every issue, and now, for the first time, if you are a paying subscriber to my Substack, you will be able to help me choose the assignments for the next issue!
