LOTS OF INFORMATION!!
1) The end of the quarter in next Friday, March 8. If your child has been absent, please remind him or her to check in with each teacher to be sure everything is caught up by THURSDAY. Our AR deadline was yesterday to allow for record keeping.2) Students may shop at the Scholastic Book Fair on MONDAY at our library time. The book fair will be open this weekend during Sunday services as well as on Grandparents' Day. Our Friday times for Junior High to shop are before school to allow younger grades to shop during the school day.
3) GRANDPARENTS DAY: We are excited that so many grandparents will be able to join us on Friday. Students will show their grandparents to the church basement and come to early room or the classroom by the normal 8:00 time. Grandparents will enjoy refreshments, devotions, and a school program, including an Old Time Radio Drama performed by our class. Classroom visits will follow the program and families will meet up for chapel. Dismissal will occur from the church by noon. If your child is not leaving with a grandparent, plan to pick him or her up in front of the church. You may wish to wait until 12:05 to allow the parking lot to clear a little.
4) CAMPUS EXPANSION: A flyer came home Friday with a second opportunity to pledge to sponsor Zion's campus expansion and an update on the pledge drive and building plans. As you also read in the this week's Banner about the growth of PDO and preschool, we can only praise God for his many blessings! How exciting to know that the love of Jesus is spreading to more and more children and families through the teaching at this place. Renovations to the Junior High building will be part of the plan. To what extent we can build depends on funding. Mr. Debrick is eager to talk with anyone who has more questions and the architect drawings are available to view around campus. Please keep Zion's growth in your daily prayers and consider how you might be able to help.
5) MAY FIELD TRIP. See the flyer attached to the email about our field trip on Wednesday, May 22 to Saxon Lutheran Memorial, an historic homestead and working farm. This is an extended school day for 6th grade. We will meet on campus by 6:45 a.m. and returning by 6:00 p.m. Please mark your calendars now to plan ahead.
Blessed to be a Blessing
6th graders have been following the Israelites into the Promised Land and have seen how Solomon encouraged the people to use their blessings to glorify the Lord in the building of the temple. We also have been talking about Zion's chapel offering project this year. Students researched the Lutheran Malaria Initiative and have created posters, coloring sheets, PA announcements, and a presentation to help inform our schoolmates about the project. Some of the boys even led the 3rd graders in playing "Malaria Tag" at P.E. We were slowed down a little by the snow days, but we hope to make classroom visits in the next few weeks to remind students where our offerings are going this year and praise God for the blessings we have already been able to share with children Africa.
