Our School Year Theme: “Transformed”

 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 

 Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.”  - Romans 12:2

SMLAL Fine Arts Fair

Congratulations to all the students who participated in the HCA Fine Arts Fair on Saturday! From art to spelling to academic bowl to forensics, our students overall represented our school well. We are very proud of you!

Hot Lunches this week…

Monday, April 14 - Chicken Alfredo

Wednesday, April 16 - Hard and Soft Tacos

Friday, April 18 - Pizza

Note: We accidentally left pizza for Friday, April 18 of our hot lunch order form. We will assume that students ordering pizza on April 11 also want pizza on April 18 and will duplicate that order. If your child does not want pizza on April 18, please email Amy Vanisacker at office@zionmonroe.org and let us know. Our apologies for the omission.

Caramel Corn

The upper grades are still selling Gordon’s Flavored Caramel Corn for their field trip fund this week. Check them out near the school entrance after school. Two sizes available - $8 for small, $12 for large - in a variety of flavors. Look for their popcorn cart when you come for student pick-up.

Our students in grades 7-8 will be taking their Lake Michigan Circle Tour field trip May 1-6, which will include Mackinac, Ishpeming in the U P, Manitowoc, and Milwaukee. Thank you Zion family and friends for supporting our fundraising efforts which make this trip possible!

Good Friday

On Friday, April 18, our K-8 students will be singing for the 1pm Good Friday service at Zion. Handchimes A will also be playing. Students will be dismissed following the service.

There will be no school classes April 21-25 for Easter Break. Enjoy your holiday!

Classes resume Monday, April 28.
