Best Choice in April
NEXT WEEK, we welcome an educator from Best Choice to
lead our Religion classes. Through this program, students will be
involved in active discussions about setting goals, healthy
relationships, puberty, and making God-pleasing decisions. The Best
Choice program is designed to encourage children to make lifelong
commitments to building relationships, making informed choices, choosing
abstinence before marriage, and avoiding risky behaviors.
Mrs. Donner and I will participate in the classes and continue follow up discussions. To help you prepare for discussions with
your child at home, here are the topics Best Choice has used in the
past. I will email you daily with our discussions. Classes are Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Friday. I pray that you
use these as opportunities to open the dialogue with your child and
share your values with them. Research shows parents are still the number one influence on their teens! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

From the class blogger, Kayla:
On Thursday we did paper mache hands. We actually put the plaster on our hands! Later we will cut
words out from a magazine that explain us and glue then on to our hand. This is a really fun but messy
project.
This Friday was a sports celebration day.
Lately we have been working on a poetry project. We made a poster with stuff about our poet including
a couple of their poems.
A peek at our week:

Have you been thinking about a special memory from Mrs. Beaty? We would love to make a collection of photos, stories, or just a personal note celebrating her ministry at Zion. See the info below:
