CEA Harvest Party and Trunk-or-Treat this Friday, October 24 5:30-7:30 p.m.
This Friday, October 24 is our Zion Harvest Party and Trunk-or-Treat. Games and activities will be from 5:30 to
7:00 p.m. Then we will excuse the kids to the parking lot for the Trunk-or-Treat. Come with your family to enjoy carnival style games, pizza and pie, pumpkin decorating, a cake walk, and have fun with friends. We are switching to a punchcard system this year. After each game is played your child will get their card punched. When their card is filled (10 games) they may go turn it in to spin for two prizes!
The Trunk-or-Treat will be held in the Zion parking lot from 7-7:30 p.m. Vehicles participating in the trunk-or-treat can park their vehicle in the designated area by the playground upon arrival. Please be set up by 6:50 p.m. Want to host a trunk for the trunk-or-treat? Please contact Marleise Gutschow at 734-755-6844.
We are also asking for some food and drink donations again this year. Please sign up so we know what is covered before the party.

“Nut Aware” Policy Adoption for Zion Lutheran School
Please see attached to the email and hard copy versions of our newsletter a copy of our school’s new “Nut Aware” policy that was recently adopted by our Board of Education and Church council for our school starting at the beginning of the second quarter. Please read the policy document carefully, as it impacts all of our classrooms to some degree. While we cannot guarantee a nut-free facility, we hope that this policy promotes practices which will help to make our facility safer for all the students that we serve now and in the future.
For the safety of ALL of our students, we ask our school students and families to abide by these guidelines. We understand that they may be somewhat inconvenient, but they allow us and our students to demonstrate Christian love and concern for those students at risk. Not having your favorite snack at school is a small inconvenience for the opportunity to develop Christian character and show love by putting another’s needs above your own. As a school family we want all of our students to have the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe environment. We appreciate everyone helping us to achieve this goal for the good of Christ’s lambs and sheep. If you have any questions concerning the policy, please speak to Mr. Schneck.
