From Mrs. R -       

2ND STEP
Thursday we began the Second Step program. The program focuses on skills that will help your child succeed in school and in life. These skills include:

• Empathy 
• Communication
• Perspective taking
• Respectful disagreement
• Assertiveness
• Emotional management
• Problem solving 

Students had a chance to consider their hopes and plans for middle school

 as well as consider the challenges ahead for this year. We will use a

Religion period twice a month to build on these social-emotional concepts 

through the eyes of faith.

Walkathon News

  Zion Lutheran Junior High Students and Staff 

 

Friday, September 27, 2024

In 2005 with the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina, Zion Lutheran Junior High Students and Teachers hosted their first Walk-a-thon to raise monetary assistance for these victims.  Every year since the first Walk-a-thon, the junior high has hosted a fun afternoon for the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders filled with walking/running, socializing, treats, and a Christ centered goal to share our blessings with others through gathering donations for the cause.

This school year, Zion’s Junior High Students and Teachers annual Walk-a-thon will support  The Birthday Project which raises funds to provide children who are homeless with the opportunity to celebrate their birthdays.  https://www.thebirthdaypartyproject.org/

 

Look for an envelope that came home with your child today for information on how they can raise pledges or donations.   We look forward to an exciting day at the end of the month pledging our support for kids in need.
