News and Notes:

GO and Tell
I am so proud of our first graders who visited the Villages of St. Peters nursing home on Valentines Day. Each first grader sang from their heart, handed out valentines and talked with the residents. This is always my favorite service project each year and it warms my heart to see our young children showing love to our older community. Thank you also to ALL the parents who organized and chaperoned and helped the first graders GO and Tell at the nursing home. I know the residents LOVED having us come and it was a a great Valentines party that we brought to them!

No School
There is no school on Monday, February 18th in honor of Presidents Day.

We Sing
We sing in church on February 23rd at 5pm. Please meet in the upper music room at 4:50pm to warm up. We will return your child to you after the service in the Welcome Center.

Kids Heart Challenge

Excitement is building for our Kids Heart Challenge (formally Jumprope for Heart). Zion has participated in this fundraiser for the American Heart Association for the last 20 years. Last year our enthusiastic students and their generous families and friends raised over $18,200 to help fight heart disease in MO. That was the highest amount raised in our state by Jump/Hoops for Heart schools. We are #1 on the 2018 Honor Roll! Way to go Bobcats! Kids Heart Challenge forms were in the Friday folder last week.

Grandparents/Special Friend Day

Your child brought home an invitation for Grandparents/Special Friend Day on Friday, March 9th from 8-11am. Please pass on the invite to your special guest. Your child must have an adult present that day. A schedule of events is on the backside of the invitation. Zion asks that you stay together as a family unit (including siblings) for proper supervision that day. Enjoy various activities throughout the morning in all the classrooms, and a special program and Chapel service in the church.
