Grandparents’ Day
This Wednesday, September 17, the students of Zion are hosting a Grandparents’ Day activity from 8:05 a.m. until 10 a.m. Preschool and elementary school students, invite your grandparents or a senior friend to join the Zion students for school chapel, then for refreshments and Bingo in the gymnasium. Don’t have a grandparent or senior friend to bring? We will work to match students with a “grandparent for the day”.
Zion congregation seniors, even if you don't have a grandchild in the school, we invite you to participate as well. Call the church office and let us know you want to participate, and we will match you up with a "grandchild for the day".
We will also have a special afternoon Grandparents Day activity with devotion together and Bingo in the gym from 12-1 p.m. for P.M. preschoolers and their grandparents or senior friends.
Families can sign up their Grandparents at the following google forms link: https://forms.gle/iBQhvXzw71PfkVAdA
