Week 29: Grandparents Day

Thanks to all the parents who helped make it possible for grandparents to be here today.  We had a wonderful time of fun and fellowship in the classrooms.  I hope the sixth graders learned a little something they never knew before.  We had a lot of laughs together!

I wish I could do justice to describing the message the 7th graders had for us in worship.  It was all about Jesus' divine power that is shared with us through the Holy Spirit's power.  The service climax was a song done in sign language from the Christian artist, Jeremy Camp.  Praise God for the wonderful witness of our young people!

Please remember Achievement Testing takes place next week.  Plenty of rest, a good breakfast, and non-mechanical pencils are helpful.  Testing helps Zion see how our students are progressing as well as give you a peek at your child's strengths.  Remember, one week of testing is only a small part in the big picture of learning and growth.

Report Cards will come home on Friday.  Be aware that teachers are processing grades and Sycamore may not be up to date.  (What was I thinking giving all those tests/quizzes/projects??  Oh yes - I love to see what the kids have accomplished at the end of our units.  But why did they all end the same week??)  Enjoy this beautiful afternoon.  I'll grab my red pen and a cup of tea...

In Peace,

Mrs. R.

We Love Our Grandparents!!
