When I was in elementary school, the 8th grade chorus and later, our Explorer post of musical theater nerds, did a compilation of show tunes, including some from Fiddler on the Roof. One of the songs was all about tradition. For those in the US, today is Labor Day and for many there are traditions built around last trip to the lake, family gatherings before school gets into full swing. or just watching a ballgame. As we move into the "ber" months filled with all types of opportunities for family gatherings, what are 2 of your favorite traditions, this could be one from childhood and one from adulthood, or some combination. Share them below as I'm working on two new labs (Curious Kitchen and Story) that aim to incorporate family traditions. For those of you new to the community, a great place to begin your journey is #Welcome to Connected Through Play or #Try This Today

Question for you - does the community leaderboard motivate you, annoy you, or you didn't even know there was such a thing? Skool, for better or worse, includes a leaderboard that shows member activity over 7 days, 30 days. and the lifetime of the community. I'm working on some new levels and rewards for the community and would love to hear your thoughts.
