Week 17: Christmas Service project, Winter Dance

December 2 - 6, 2019

By: Riley Mudd and Adam Lorenz          

    

Monday and Tuesday we practiced for our Advent service 
which we performed on Wednesday at 10:10 am and 7:00 pm. 
We have continued reading our class novel, “Among The Hidden”. 
In gym we started playing and learning about basketball. 
Thursday and Friday we were preparing for our Geography Bee
 later this month. Friday, we helped pack goody bags and create cards
 for the foster children. We did this for the organization the Birthday Party 
Project who sponsored our walk-a-thon this year.


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 are Called 
to Care 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.

AR UPDATE!!!  Renaissance updated their website.  Parents need to re-register with Home Connect to get emails about your child's progress.  See the letter that came home today.

STUCO Dance  

Student Council sponsors a dance next Friday, Dec. 13 from 7:00-9:30 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 can be told 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 - but it is a lot of fun!!)  The cost is $5 - exact change is helpful.
