Week 3 (8/31) Walkathon coming and 2nd Step

 

From the class blogger: Emery (Apologies to Emery - I left the ipod at school and don't have her photos up yet. Will post next week!)

 

This week me and my classmates finished up our line art project, and we 

started our pop art. Also as 6th graders we have a great opportunity to do 

pen-pals with a nursing home. We got to tell them what we like and what we

 do in 6th grade. You might also see Rocky the bobcat in the background. We

 also did a project for a short story called “The Wounded Wolf” by Jean 

Craighead George. We had our first Science test this week; that was exciting. 

 We got to have outdoor recess because it cooled down a bit. Our outdoor 

classroom was finished in dedication to Mrs. Graham. That is what we did

 in 6th grade this week.

2ND STEP
Thursday we began the Second Step program. The program focuses on skills that will help your child succeed in school and in life. These skills include:

• Empathy 
• Communication
• Perspective taking
• Respectful disagreement
• Assertiveness
• Emotional management
• Problem solving 

Students had a chance to consider their hopes and plans for middle school as well as

consider the challenges ahead this year.  We will look at all these concepts through the

eyes of faith.

  Zion Lutheran Junior High Students and Staff 

 

Friday, September 22, 2023

In 2005 with the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina, Zion Lutheran Junior High Students and Teachers hosted their first Walk-a-thon to raise monetary assistance for these victims.  Every year since the first Walk-a-thon, the junior high has hosted a fun afternoon for the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders filled with walking/running, socializing, treats, and a Christ centered goal to share our blessings with others through gathering donations for the cause.

This school year, Zion’s Junior High Students and Teachers annual Walk-a-thon will support  Christian Friends of New Americans (CFNA).  This faith-based organization’s mission, “Showing God’s Love to Refugees and Immigrants” provides housing, furniture, employment, English language instruction, education, various programs, and spiritual and religious needs by sharing the Story of Jesus.  (https://www.cfna-stl.org/).

Your support and partnership would be greatly appreciated.

How can you help?

Please pray for the people in these difficult situations and for our junior high students to feel the call to serve. In addition, your help in raising funds for CFNA would be greatly appreciated.  Any amount of donation will go directly to this worthwhile cause. 

The following options for a donation are available from September 4 through October 8, 2023.

• Digital donation using QR code or 2023walkathon.givesmart.com

• Donation by Cash 

• Donation by Check addressed to Zion attention Walk-a-thon.

Any monetary gifts toward a Zion Junior High Student’s pledge card or for the project in general, would share your love with others.

Working With You in His Love,

Zion Lutheran School Junior High Teachers and Students

     If you have any questions, please contact a junior high teacher or the school office.

       Since CFNA is a non-profit organization, all donations are tax-exempt.
