Start of 2nd Quarter

What a blessing it is to get to know your child!  As we have wrapped up the first quarter, I am eager to meet with you on Thursday to discuss progress and goals.  If you have not yet, please complete this quick survey to help me plan our time together.  Take some time to talk with your child and respond to the questions.   I feel so blessed to be part of your child's education and I am eager to team with you as we set goals for the rest of 6th grade!

NOTE:  GRADES WILL NOT BE POSTED ON EDLINE TODAY.  This will allow teachers to finish processing reports.  Something may be marked as "missing" or "absent work" that was turned in last week.  Your child should know if he or she completed the work.


Hark - The Students Lead Advent Worship!
On Wednesday, December 3, at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m, grades 5 and 6 will lead the first Advent worship services at Zion Church.  This is a wonderful opportunity for our students as they help our congregation prepare for the Lord's coming.  Attendance is expected at both services, so please mark your calendars now and keep the date open.  Let me know of any conflicts right away as parts will be assigned soon. We are eager to begin preparations in late October for leading worship especially since these services are scheduled for the week after Thanksgiving break.

During the coming weeks, all students will learn songs selected to reinforce their message.  Students will also have opportunities to try various roles in the service, such as special drama or music parts.  Part of our Memory Work assignments will shift focus to learning songs and lines.  Students will also have an opportunity to share their special musical talents.  Any student who has had two years of music lessons or is in the Concert Band may offer to play for the services.  Selections must be:
     1)  sacred music related to the Advent or Christmas seasons of the church year
     2)  practiced and ready to audition before Thanksgiving break


Field Trip Fun!
Thanks to our parent drivers who helped make Friday a fun experience for all!   Sorry for the delay in sharing - I left the camera at school this weekend.
