Zion is having their Harvest Party Friday October 24 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. We are switching to a punchcard system this year. After each game is played your child will get their card, hole punched. When their card is filled (10 games) they may go turn it in to spin for two prizes!
Trunk or Treat will be held in the Zion parking lot from 7-7:30 p.m. Please sign up below. You can park your vehicle in the designated area by the playground upon arrival. Please be set up by 6:50 p.m.
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. Pizza will be provided.
We will also be including a Pie Baking Contest at our Harvest Party! Please let us know if you will be participating in the Pie Baking contest by turning in the form sent out last week (also available on the table in the school entrance) to Mrs. Vanisacker and signing up on the Sign-up Genius page linked below.
