Field Trips in February

We have 2 exciting theater opportunities this month.  NEXT FRIDAY, the sixth graders will attend Edison Theatre at Washington U. for a performance of the Cashore Marionettes.  We will travel by bus leaving at 9:00 a.m.  Plan for a sack lunch as we will need to eat in classrooms when we return.  Further details will come home on the permission slip on MONDAY.  Click here for a preview: Marionettes

Then on FEBRUARY 23,  the drama Department of Lutheran High has invited us to see their performance of "Twisted Tales".   We will also travel by bus this day, but return in time for hot lunch.

I am excited that Zion is able to provide learning outside the classroom.  Thank you in advance for getting permission slips returned promptly.

Valentine's Day
We will celebrate Valentine's Day with treats provided by our room parents.  We do not have a card exchange, but if students choose to bring in valentines, they should include one for each student in the class.  (Class list available under the "Class Info" tab above.   Any gift you are planning to give to a friend or special someone must be exchanged off campus per Zion's policy (Family Handbook p.35 - found under "Resources" on the Zion website).

Cell Phones

Students were reminded this week of Zion's Cell Phone policy (Family Handbook p.19).  If a cell phone is displayed or used in any way, it will be confiscated and sent to the office to be picked up by a parent.  Necessary and emergency phone service is available to students with teacher permission.
