Week 16: Advent, Christmas Service Project, and DANCE

From the class bloggers:

Hailey and Quentin
This week was advent, so our schedule was filled with practice for it. We finished Among the Hidden. We did our service project. It snowed on Thursday, but it all melted. We decorated for Christmas. With the excitement of Christmas coming it hard to wait. Eighteen days till Christmas.
Happy Holidays!

From Mrs. R.

What a thrill it was to hear your kids share the message of our Savior this week, through song, drama, and art!  Thank you for getting kids to the service and all your help behind the scenes with learning songs/parts.  Together we GO!! out in witness and serve a Savior who loves us so much that he put aside heaven to live with us, be our friend, and rescue us from sin.  I pray the service gave you a new perspective on the Advent season and the special days ahead.





We are serving God by singing



CHRISTMAS SERVICE PROJECT


Students today packed Welcome Kits for Christian Friends of New Americans.  Funds reserved from our Walkathon purchased kit items and students had a chance to write encouraging words in personal greetings to go in each bag.

CFNA is also looking for donations of NEW or GENTLY USED BLANKETS.  If you are able to donate, please send blankets in a bag by Monday.  Our delivery to CFNA will take place next week with a few volunteer students/parents.


Serving people who is coming to the United states
we made cards for the people

STUCO Dance  


Student Council sponsors a dance next Friday, Dec. 14 from 7:30-10:00 for Zion's junior high.  This is a social mixer in the Commons and a chance for kids to get together for a time of fellowship, snacks, and fun.  Students have already been informed that this is not a "date night" nor should they "ask" anyone to go as a "date." Students who choose to attend hang out with lots of different people.  Mr. Debrick will talk with the sixth graders next week about how they are getting older and learning more about socializing in positive ways - face to face and not from behind a screen.  One of my favorite parts of his talk is when he lets kids know that just because they dance with someone, they are not "getting married."  We all have a good laugh, but it also helps kids understand they are learning how to act around each others as boys and girls.   Please take this opportunity to tell your child about your first dance and what your values and expectations are for them.  (and no - they don't HAVE to go!!)  I believe the cost is $6 - exact change is helpful.
