Our Current Chapel Project!
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
|
|
Our chapel project for the next two months is Operation Christmas Child. If you are able to fill a shoebox for a child in need, there are several shoe boxes available in the main hallway. What can go in a shoe box? A “wow” item, a toy, school supplies, non-liquid hygiene items, accessories, and a personal note.
>>Click Here for a
list of suggested items and specifications on the Operation Christmas Child website. Click on the “See More Gift Suggestions” tab for more ideas. Pick up a shoe box and happy shopping! Dollar Day will be Wednesday, September 28th. Students are encouraged to bring a dollar to chapel that morning.

The Principal's Office:
A Note From Mr. Schultz
|
|
|
What a great start to the new school year! We are certainly blessed each year by the partnerships that are formed between home and school as we work together for success! Please keep the teachers, staff, and students in your prayers regularly.
It is truly a blessing for me to be able to greet the students and parents in the morning once again. Hopefully this helps get their days started in a positive way. It certainly helps me have a positive perspective for each day.
- We are off to a good start with our
chapel offerings this year. Our first project was chosen for the month of September and October and it is Samaritan’s Purse/Operation Christmas Child. Instructions on how to collect and fill a box has been sent out in several ways. Please consider participating in this project. Our regular offering will also go to support this project. Remember, the due date for filled boxes is October 19th for our school.
- We had a great turn out for our
Back-to-School Potluck on Friday. Thank you to the 3rd and 4th grade families for hosting our dinner this year. Your hard work and enthusiasm made for a wonderful evening!
- Starting next week, students in 1st through 8th grade will be participating in a school wide checkers tournament. The classroom champions and overall winner will be recognized at a future chapel.

TADS questions? Calling
TADS directly (
1.800.477.8237) should answer most questions that come up. Wendy or I can also be of assistance from the school office.

Don’t forget to check out your calendars for upcoming events. Our calendar can also be found on our website under events (Click here to see our website calendar ). I plan on having reminders on our Facebook page as well.
Thank you for being part of the Zion Lutheran School family. We understand the sacrifice that is made by families in order to have children attend and appreciate all of the support that we receive. If you have questions or concerns, please speak to your child’s teacher and if I can be helpful in any way, let me know. Continue to keep our school in your prayers as we look forward to the 2016-2017 school year.

Middle School Parent Meeting for grades 5 - 8
Tuesday, September 20th at 6:30pm
Our principal, Mr. Jonathan Schultz, would like to meet with all 5th through 8th grade Middle School parents to discuss how we, as a school, will move forward with end of the year trips. This discussion can have an effect on the current 5th and 6th grade class as well because Mr. Schultz hopes to establish a pattern that can be counted on and also to allow adequate time for planning. All ideas and concerns will be heard and discussed. It is important to hear what you think. Please click the e-mail launch below to let Mr. Schultz know if you will be attending so that he can be sure to plan for adequate meeting space.

A Shortage Of Parking Spaces Here At Zion
|
|
We are struggling with a shortage of open parking spaces in our Church/School upper parking lot! If you will be parking at our school, especially between the hours of 8am and 3pm, please try to find a street parking spot first if available. Also, it will be very helpful if you clearly display your Zion parking tag. If you need a new Parking tag, please stop by the School office. Thank you for helping us address our parking limitations and assist the Zion family members who might require closer parking due to physical challenges..
