Zion CEA Meeting Today
Our last Zion
Christian Education Association meeting for the school year will be this
afternoon, Monday, May 10th at 3:15 p.m. Zion parents are invited
and encouraged to attend. We plan to meet at the picnic tables by the playground,
weather permitting. Hope to see you there!
Zion track season is competed for the year. We thank teachers and coaches for their work
as well as organizing and running our field day this last Thursday. Top
finishers in our events will be recognized after chapel on Wednesday.
From now until May 24th, Zion Lutheran School will be participating in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Pennies for Patients/Hero Squad program, a service-learning program that helps raise critical funds for blood cancer patients, particularly children. A flyer was sent home last week with details, but here is a recap.
There are two ways to help:
1. Each classroom is a Hero Squad. Students are
asked to bring spare change to school. It can be pennies, nickels, dimes
quarters, or more! It can be from home, or they can ask family and friends if
they would like to give. Each classroom has a jar to collect their classroom’s
donations. The classrooms will be having a friendly competition to see which
Hero Squad can raise the most for LLS between now and May 24th.
2. If parents, family and friends would like to
donate to our Hero Squads online, they can do so at herosquad.org. Find our
school (Zion, Monroe, MI) and register your student. Donations collected here
will be included in the classroom totals for that student’s classroom. Friends
and family can also donate online by looking up our school. Donations can also
be made to the school collection as a whole and not be designated to a student’s
classroom if you wish.
The classroom that collects
the most change and online donations will receive a special treat during the
last week of school. If
you have any questions, please contact Mr. Schneck. Thank you!
Chapel Service
School families are invited to join us for our morning school chapel service this week
Wednesday, May 12th at 8:05 a.m. Parents, family and friends are welcome!
Parents attending chapel are asked to park in the circle drive (Cole Road
entrance) and enter through door “D”.
